Sheldon, R.A. (author), Bode, Moira L. (author), Mathebula, Nompumelelo (author)The discovery that enzymes could function efficiently in organic solvents revolutionized their use in industry but represented a change from the natural “green” solvent, water, to a host of environmentally undesirable solvents. Considerable effort is being devoted to making such processes greener again. Bio-based solvents, derived from waste...review 2023

Rittig, J. (author), Ben Hicham, Karim (author), Schweidtmann, A.M. (author), Dahmen, Manuel (author), Mitsos, Alexander (author)Ionic liquids (ILs) are important solvents for sustainable processes and predicting activity coefficients (ACs) of solutes in ILs is needed. Recently, matrix completion methods (MCMs), transformers, and graph neural networks (GNNs) have shown high accuracy in predicting ACs of binary mixtures, superior to well-established models, e.g., COSMO...journal article 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Mulder, F.M. (author)Mg attracts much research interest as anode material for Ni-MH batteries thanks to its lightweight, cost-effectiveness and high theoretical capacity (2200 mA h g<sup>−1</sup>). However, its practical application is tremendously challenged by the poor hydrogen sorption kinetics, passivation from aggressive aqueous electrolytes, and insulating...journal article 2021

Peng, Yashan (author)Heavy dependence on fossil fuels has caused an astonishing growth in atmospheric CO2 levels for the past decades. The increase of anthropogenic CO2 emissions accelerates global warming and sea-level rising, which could lead to irreversible environmental damages. Electrochemically converting CO2 to value-added fuels is a promising approach to...master thesis 2020

Janssen, V.A.E.C. (author)This thesis describes research into the interaction between electrons and various (pseudo) two-dimensional materials. This research is using two approaches: in Chapters 3 and 4 a low-energy electron microscope is used, and in Chapters 5 and 6 transport properties are studied. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of a two-dimensional material. First,...doctoral thesis 2020

Peshave, Kalyani (author)Excessive consumption of non - renewable resources in the recent times has negative effects on the environment, one of the important of which include global warming. This suggests an urgent need for adaption to the sustainable use of the resources, for which the thermal technologies show a lot of scope. Absorption heat pump is a type of heat...master thesis 2019

Becker, T. (author)Undoubtedly, materials that can be tuned on a molecular level offer tremendous opportunities. However, to understand and customize such materials is challenging. In this context, molecular simulation can be helpful. The work presented in this thesis deals with two types of materials, Metal-Organic Frameworks and Ionic Liquids, and the study with...doctoral thesis 2019

Wang, M. (author)Improving efficiencies of thermal energy conversion systems is an important way to slow down global warming and mitigate climate change. Vapor absorption heat pump and refrigeration cycles are highly efficient ways of heating and cooling. These thermally activated systems also provide opportunities for the integration with a wide spectrum of low...doctoral thesis 2019

Wang, M. (author), He, Lijuan (author), Infante Ferreira, C.A. (author)Unfavorable transport properties have always been pointed out as the key factors that hinder the application of ammonia/ionic liquids (NH <sub>3</sub> /ILs) in absorption cycles, while heat and mass transfer of these new fluids in components have been rarely reported. In this study, a corrugated plate heat exchanger is selected as the...journal article 2019

Boleij, M. (author), Seviour, Thomas (author), Wong, L.L.M. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Lin, Y. (author)Elucidating the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of anammox granular sludge is important for stable nitrogen removal processes in wastewater treatment. However, due to a lack of standardized methods for extraction and characterization, the composition of anammox granule EPS remains mostly unknown. In this study, alkaline (NaOH) and...journal article 2019

(author), Moniruzzaman, Muhammad (author)Ionic liquids (ILs) are liquid salts at ambient or lower temperatures and consist of ions and short-lived ion pairs. They are potential alternatives to toxic, hazardous, highly flammable, and volatile solvents for preparing solutions, dispersions, gels, composites, and polymeric melts. ILs have some very interesting and unique characteristics...journal article 2019

Schouten, Bob (author)Absorption refrigeration cycles are energy saving as they can be driven by waste heat instead of electricity. By doing so, they reduce the use of fossil fuels, resulting in a reduction of emissions. However, many challenges exist for the traditional working fluids of the cycle, such as the crystallization problem of the water-lithium bromide...master thesis 2017
