(author), Brück, E.H. (author)In the field of nanoscale magnetocaloric materials, novel concepts like micro-refrigerators, thermal switches, microfluidic pumps, energy harvesting devices and biomedical applications have been proposed. However, reports on nanoscale (Mn,Fe)<sub>2</sub>(P,Si)-based materials, which are one of the most promising bulk materials for solid-state...journal article 2022

(author), Kosinov, Nikolay A. (author), Pidko, E.A. (author)Hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone is a key reaction in the valorization of carbohydrates to renewable fuels and chemicals. State-of-the-art catalysts are based on supported noble metal nanoparticle catalysts. We report the utility of a bimetallic Fe-Re supported on TiO<sub>2</sub> for this reaction. A strong synergy was...journal article 2020

Lai, J. (author), You, X. (author), Dugulan, A.I. (author), Huang, B. (author), Liu, J. (author), Maschek, M. (author), van Eijck, L. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)The first-order magneto-elastic transition in the Mn–Fe–P–Si alloys can be tailored by vanadium substitution. Alloys with a suitable V substitution provide an excellent magnetocaloric effect with minor hysteresis in low magnetic fields up to 1.2 T. Mössbauer measurements show that the hyperfine field is reduced by V substitution. Neutron...journal article 2020
