(author)In arson cases, evidence such as DNA or fingerprints is often destroyed. One of the most important evidence modalities left is relating fire accelerants to a suspect. When gasoline is used as accelerant, the aim is to find a strong indication that a gasoline sample from a fire scene is related to a sample of a suspect. Gasoline samples from a...journal article 2020

(author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author)Direct electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2 products such as ethylene is more efficient in alkaline media, but it suffers from parasitic loss of reactants due to (bi)carbonate formation. A two-step process where the CO2 is first electrochemically reduced to CO and subsequently converted to desired C2 products has the potential to overcome...journal article 2021

Habibi, P. (author), Vlugt, T.J.H. (author), Dey, P. (author), Moultos, O. (author)Two-dimensional (2D) boron-based materials are receiving much attention as H2 storage media due to the low atomic mass of boron and the stability of decorating alkali metals on the surface, which enhance interactions with H2. This work investigates the suitability of Li, Na, and K decorations on 2D honeycomb borophene oxide (B2O) for H2...journal article 2021
