(author), Buskens, Pascal (author), Sastre, Francesc (author)Plasmonic CO<sub>2</sub> methanation using γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-supported Ru nanorods was carried out under continuous-flow conditions without conventional heating, using mildly concentrated sunlight as the sole and sustainable energy source (AM 1.5, irradiance 5.5–14.4 kW·m<sup>−2</sup> = 5.5–14.4 suns). Under 12.5 suns, a CO<sub>2<...journal article 2022

Use of a tailored optical temperature sensor based on fiber Bragg gratings enabled us to obtain an accurate temperature map of an illuminated plasmonic catalyst bed with high spatiotemporal resolution. Its importance for quantification of the...journal article 2022

Martínez Molina, Pau (author), Meulendijks, Nicole (author), Xu, M. (author), Verheijen, Marcel A. (author), den Hartog, Tim (author), Buskens, Pascal (author), Sastre, Francesc (author)Sunlight-powered reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to fuels and chemicals is a promising strategy to close the carbon loop and facilitate the energy transition. In this research, we demonstrate that Au nanoparticles supported on TiO<sub>2</sub> are an efficient plasmonic catalyst for the sunlight-powered reverse water-gas shift (rWGS) reaction. A...journal article 2021

(author), Buskens, Pascal (author)Au and Ag nanoshells are of interest for a wide range of applications. The plasmon resonance of such nanoshells is the property of interest and can be tuned in a broad spectral regime, ranging from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared. To date, a large number of manuscripts have been published on the optics of such nanoshells. Few of these,...journal article 2016

Xu, M. (author), Wachters, A.J.H. (author), Van Deelen, J. (author), Mourad, M.C.D. (author), Buskens, P.J.P. (author)We present a systematic study of the effect of variation of the zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) layer thickness on the absorption characteristics of CIGS solar cells using a simulation program based on finite element method (FEM). We show that the absorption in the CIGS layer does not decrease monotonically with...journal article 2014
