Sadykov, Ilia I. (author), Palagin, D. (author), Krumeich, Frank (author), Plokhikh, Igor V. (author), van Bokhoven, Jeroen A. (author), Nachtegaal, Maarten (author), Safonova, Olga V. (author)The surface of supported heterogeneous catalysts often contains adsorbed water and hydroxyl groups even when water is not directly added to the reaction stream. Nonetheless, the reactivity of adsorbed water and hydroxyl groups is rarely considered. We demonstrate that water and hydroxyl groups can not only directly participate in the...journal article 2024

Sood, A. (author), Schimmel, Jim (author), Bosman, Marko (author), Goulas, Constantinos (author), Popovich, V. (author), Hermans, M.J.M. (author)The binary Fe–Ni system offers alloys with notably low linear coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), contingent upon their Ni content. In this respect twin-wire arc additive manufacturing (T-WAAM) presents the opportunity of in-situ alloying through the simultaneous feeding of two metal wires into a weld pool to obtain desired alloy...journal article 2024

(author), Xie, Jingxiu (author)CO<sub>2</sub> hydrogenation to chemicals and fuels has the potential to alleviate CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and displace fossil resources simultaneously via consecutive RWGS and FTS reactions, also known as CO<sub>2</sub>-FTS. As Fe-based catalysts are active and selective for both reactions, their bifunctionality requires a delicate balance...journal article 2024

(author)The Fe<sub>2</sub>P type Mn–Fe–P–Si alloys exhibit a giant magneto-elastic first-order transition, but the large hysteresis limits their performance. Crystal structure evolution and magnetocaloric performance were investigated by varying the Mn and Fe contents at a constant V substitution of 0.02 in Fe<sub>2</sub>P-type (Mn<sub>1.17-x</sub>Fe...journal article 2024

Kiecana, A. (author)The growing demand for energy highlights the need for developing more efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. Magnetic cooling based on the magnetocaloric effect is a promising alternative for compressor-based refrigeration. Among various magnetocaloric materials, Mn-based alloys appear especially attractive due to their low cost,...doctoral thesis 2023

Ariëns, M.I. (author)Hydrogen gas is an essential reagent in numerous industrial processes including ammonia synthesis. Ammonia is a key intermediate in the synthesis of nitrogen-based fertilisers, e.g. nitrates and urea. According to recent estimates (2008), approximately half of the world population is fed by nitrogen-based fertilisers of synthetic origin....doctoral thesis 2023

Seeber, Franziska (author), Sarnaghi, Ani Khaloian (author), Rais, Andreas (author), van de Kuilen, J.W.G. (author)Mechanical properties of wood such as stiffness and strength vary locally especially due to heterogeneities and anisotropy. Analytical models and numerical simulations of wooden boards are able to represent varying material orientation e.g. with local fiber directions from laser scanning as input for the prediction of strength. Current Finite...journal article 2023

(author)The influence of doping with the 5d transition metal W has been studied in the quaternary (Mn,Fe)<sub>2</sub>(P,Si) based giant magnetocaloric compounds, which is one of the most promising systems for magnetic refrigeration. It is found that W substitution can separately decrease the Curie temperature T<sub>C</sub> and retain the thermal...journal article 2023

Rocha, I.B.C.M. (author), Kerfriden, P. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author)In this work we present a hybrid physics-based and data-driven learning approach to construct surrogate models for concurrent multiscale simulations of complex material behavior. We start from robust but inflexible physics-based constitutive models and increase their expressivity by allowing a subset of their material parameters to change in...journal article 2023

Volakos, Efstratios (author), Davis, Chris (author), Teich, Martien (author), Lenk, Peter (author), Overend, M. (author)Embedded load-bearing laminated glass connections have gained popularity in recent years due to their mechanical performance and aesthetic appeal. However, there is a paucity of data on their structural behaviour across a range of temperatures that may arise in building applications and there is also no simplified mechanics-based model for...journal article 2023

Kiecana, A. (author), Kwakernaak, C. (author), van Dijk, N.H. (author), Brück, E.H. (author)The effect of the heat treatment on the magnetism, magnetocaloric effect and microstructure formation has been systematically studied in Fe-rich (Mn,Fe)<sub>y</sub>(P,Si) melt-spun ribbons (1.80 ≤ y ≤ 2.00). XRD, SEM and EDS measurements demonstrate that a metal deficiency prompts the stable (Mn,Fe)Si phase, whereas in the metal-rich region...journal article 2023
