Wu, Xian (author), Xi, Kaihua (author), Cheng, Aijie (author), Lin, H.X. (author), van Schuppen, J.H. (author)We aim to increase the ability of coupled phase oscillators to maintain synchronization when the system is affected by stochastic disturbances. We model the disturbances by Gaussian noise and use the mean first hitting time when the state hits the boundary of a secure domain, that is a subset of the basin of attraction, to measure...journal article 2023

Wu, F. (author), Muller, Adrian (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)Biomass is a growing renewable energy source in Europe and is envisioned to play a role for realising carbon neutrality, predominantly using dedicated energy crops. However, dedicated biomass is controversial for reasons including its competition with food production or its land-use and emissions impacts. Here we examine the potential role of a...journal article 2023

(author), Peng, Yiming (author), Pang, Qiaotong (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author)Marine plastic pollution poses a potential threat to the ecosystem, but the sources and their magnitudes remain largely unclear. Existing bottom-up emission inventories vary among studies for two to three orders of magnitudes (OMs). Here, we adopt a top-down approach that uses observed dataset of sea surface plastic concentrations and an...journal article 2023

(author), Wagemaker, M. (author)Developing liquid electrolytes with higher kinetics and enhanced interphase stability is one of the key challenges for lithium batteries. However, the poor solubility of lithium salts in solvents sets constraints that compromises the electrolyte properties. Here, it is shown that introducing multiple salts to form a high-entropy solution,...journal article 2023

Domestici, C. (author), Wu, Y. (author), Hilberath, T. (author), Alcalde, Miguel (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Macchioni, Alceo (author)Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are promising biocatalysts for oxyfunctionalisation reactions, owing to their simplicity of handling, stability and robustness. A limitation of using UPOs on a large scale is their deactivation in the presence of even rather modest concentrations of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, requiring a constant and...journal article 2023

Wu, Bin (author), Wang, S. (author), Ma, Yunjian (author), Yuan, Shuguang (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Wang, Yonghua (author)Alcohol oxidases (AOxs) catalyze the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl products (aldehydes or ketones), producing only H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> as the byproduct. The majority of known AOxs, however, have a strong preference for small, primary alcohols, limiting their broad applicability, e.g., in the food industry....journal article 2023

Addition of new functionalities into the hydrocarbon part opens up new possibilities for fatty acid valorisation. In this contribution we demonstrate the synthetic potential of a peroxygenase mutant AaeUPO−Fett for...journal article 2023
