The goal of this project would be to study the thermochemical production of hydrogen by using woody biomass as a raw material. The thermo-economic performance of the process will be evaluated and an optimisation will be performed to define the optimal syst ...
This project aims to analyze, fabricate and characterize a mechanical hydrogen sensor. The potential of hydrogen gas detection using beam resonators is investigated. The beams consist mainly of Si3N4, providing a tensile stress to prevent buckling. Pd expa ...
Amorphous and microcrystalline silicon have been proven to be very interesting for low cost thin film photovoltaic devices. Usually these two materials are deposited using the same large area plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition reactors from silane a ...
In this project we develop hydrogen sensors based on nanoscaled discontinuities (nanogaps) in palladium (Pb). These nanogaps reversibly close and open upon hydrogen/air cycling due to an increased lattice constant in the hydrated state. Therewith, an elect ...
Hydrogen production by non-thermal plasma (NTP) assisted direct decomposition of hydrogen sulfide was carried out in a novel dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor with the inner electrode made of sintered metal fibers (SMF) also functioning as catalys ...
Due to the limiting amount of fossil fuel available and to the continuous growth of the world energy consumption, it becomes important to find alternative energy sources. Hydrogen produced by the photoelectrolysis of water is a perfect candidate as a clean ...
As part of a collaborative, NSF-supported initiative to help develop the basic chem. needed for producing solar fuels, our group has been studying relatively inexpensive, first row transition metals that mediate electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution at unusu ...
In the framework of the EU-project SOLZINC, a 300-kW solar chemical pilot plant for the production of zinc by carbothermic reduction of ZnO was experimentally demonstrated in a beam-down solar tower concentrating facility of Cassegrain optical configuratio ...
Hydrogen prodn. using earth abundant metals is one of the important challenges facing an energy economy based upon solar fuels. Schemes that incorporate the photo-oxidn. of water must also include schemes for efficiently converting released protons and ele ...
In the context of the diminishing fossil energy resources and global warming, much research is focused on sustainable energy sources. The research that is presented in this thesis falls in this category as it contributes to the development of a device that ...
