Effect of Short Reducing Pulses on the Dynamic Structure, Activity, and Stability of Pd/Al2O3 for Wet Lean Methane Oxidation
Natural gas is a suitable alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels to decrease the carbon footprint of the mobility and energy sectors. Unburnt CH4 is typically removed from the exhaust using palladium-based catalysts, which suffer from thermal deactivatio ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2021A new Euler-Lagrangian cavitation model for tip-vortex cavitation with the effect of non-condensable gas
Numerical simulation of tip vortex cavitation (TVC) remains a challenging task in a variety of applica-tions, such as axial turbines and pumps as well as marine propellers. Although it is well known that TVC is highly sensitive to gas content, be it dissol ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Gas-sieving zeolitic membranes fabricated by condensation of precursor nanosheets
Michele Ceriotti, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Claudia Esther Avalos, Rocio Semino Barbaresi, Yu Han
The synthesis of molecular-sieving zeolitic membranes by the assembly of building blocks, avoiding the hydrothermal treatment, is highly desired to improve reproducibility and scalability. Here we report exfoliation of the sodalite precursor RUB-15 into cr ...
NATURE RESEARCH2020Continuous in situ measurement of dissolved methane in Lake Kivu using a membrane inlet laser spectrometer
We report the first high-resolution continuous profile of dissolved methane in the shallow water of Lake Kivu, Rwanda. The measurements were performed using an in situ dissolved gas sensor, called Sub-Ocean, based on a patented membrane-based extraction te ...
Copernicus GmbH2020CO2 Hydrogenation over Unsupported Fe-Co Nanoalloy Catalysts
Andreas Züttel, Marco Calizzi, Kun Zhao, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Nicola Patelli
The thermo-catalytic synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO2 and H2 is of great interest for the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. In this work, we aim to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the effect of alloying on the reaction y ...
2020Overcapacity in European power systems: Analysis and robust optimization approach
Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret
The planning of national power systems is traditionally based on long-term forecasts of electricity demand and fuel prices. However, over such long time horizons (20-50 years), these forecasts often prove to be inaccurate. As an example, wrong projections ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Synthesis of high-performance polycrystalline metal-organic framework membranes at room temperature in a few minutes
Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Jian Hao, Deepu Joseph Babu, Heng-Yu Chi, Qi Liu
The development of a rapid and reproducible crystallization route for the synthesis of polycrystalline metal-organic framework (MOF) films is attractive for the scalable production of nanoporous membranes on porous supports. Prior crystallization studies h ...
