The Arctic is warming faster than Earth on average (Arctic amplification) and the extent of the sea ice coverage has decreased dramatically over the past decades, especially in summer. However, the underlying processes behind this amplification are not wel ...
Water splitting offers the opportunity for storing solar energy and, thus, producing carbon-neutral and renewable solar fuels. The process, known as artificial photosynthesis, is limited by the electrocatalytic conversion of water into molecular oxygen. El ...
The transition in energy matrix, from fossil to renewable energy sources, will require the utilization of grid levelling alternatives to cope with the intermittent characteristic of renewable energy. Advanced electrochemical energy conversion and storage d ...
Reactions with ozone transform organic and inorganic molecules in water treatment systems as well as in atmospheric chemistry, either in the aqueous phase, at gas/particle interfaces, or in the gas phase. Computed thermokinetic data can be used to estimate ...
We investigate the temporal trends of peak ozone in Switzerland for the 1990-2014 time period. The meteorological conditions have a large influence on ozone formation and drive a large part of the variability in ozone observations. Therefore, the influence ...
Oxidation experiments (chlorine, ozone and bromine) were carried out with synthetic saline waters containing natural organic matter (NOM) extracts and model compounds to evaluate the potential of these surrogates to mimic the formation of brominated trihal ...
Ozonation can be applied to mitigate the discharge of organic micropollutants from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to the aquatic environment. The toxicity of metals also present in WWTP effluents strongly depends on their speciation. Therefo ...
The growing world population, in conjunction with climate change, cases the global water de-mand to increase. It is, therefore, crucial to protect existing water resources from chemical pollution and contamination by pathogens. An increasingly popular stra ...
Ozone is an effective disinfectant against all types of waterborne pathogens. However, accurate and quantitative kinetic data regarding virus inactivation by ozone is scarce, due to the experimental challenges associated with the high reactivity of ozone t ...
With the gradual reduction of emissions from building products, emissions from human occupants become more dominant indoors. The impact of human emissions on indoor air quality is inadequately understood. The aim of the Indoor Chemical Human Emissions and ...
