🏆 Congratulations to Isabell Bagemihl, the winner of Delft University of Technology Best Energy Paper award 2023! Her remarkable work earned her the Best Paper Award of TU Delft e-Refinery Institute and got nominated for the last round of competition. 🔬𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞: 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐚𝐛-𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 Isabell, PhD student at Ruud van Ommen's group, developed a multi-scale model – from reaction channel to full-scale process – for assessing reactor design for electrochemical CO2 reduction from a techno-economic perspective. Specifically considering the performance interdependencies, it yields performance targets that are actually achievable in current electrolyser designs. She demonstrated her model for a single reaction (CO2 to ethylene) but it can be readily adapted to many more. Increasing the understanding from lab-scale to economic impact, her research may help guide future fundamental electrolyses research, bringing a closed carbon cycle ever closer. 📖 Full story on Isabell's work: https://lnkd.in/eeny7SGS 📄 Isabell's winning publication in its entirety: https://lnkd.in/eMGW8jtu #CO2electrolysis, #electrolysermodel, #Multiscalemodeling, #optimization, #Technoeconomicanalysis

A result of the #ANR's call for International Collaborative Research Projects (#PRCI) between France and Switzerland, PROTIS Project is coordinated by the Institut de la corrosion (Michel Prestat) and brings together the skills of the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research - Empa (Meike Heinz) and those of LEMTA's "Hydrogen and Electrochemical Systems" team : supervised by Gael Maranzana and Feina Xu, doctoral student Kaoutar Lahlou Nabil will be responsible for taking this work forward. Successful completion of the project will remove one of the main technological obstacles to the deployment of hydrogen technologies, enabling a considerable reduction in capital expenditure.

On June 6th at 4PM CET Prof. Umit B. Demirci will deliver a seminar organized by COST Action PROBONO - CA21128 and HB11 Energy. The topic of the presentation is “BH, BNH and BNCH materials”. See details below! Link: https://lnkd.in/ddavhibX   Meeting-ID: 851 3347 0601 Kenncode: 358425 Abstract: More than two decades ago, BH and BNH materials were rediscovered in the context of the announced energy transition. A typical example of BH materials is sodium borohydride NaBH4, which carries 10.8 wt% of hydrogen and can spontaneously produce molecular hydrogen by hydrolysis at 20 °C. A typical example of BNH material is ammonia borane NH3BH3; it is made up of three protic hydrogens and three hydride hydrogens that interact at 80-100°C to produce molecular hydrogen; this is then called thermolysis or thermolytic dehydrogenation. It is in this context that our research activities on BH and BNH materials, and later BNCH materials, were launched in 2005. We have focused on their synthesis, complete characterization and property evaluation for hydrogen storage mainly. We have also explored other applications such as liquid fuel cells, which led us to explore closoboranes such as dodecaborane Na2B12H12 (another BH material) and borocarbonitrides which were developed by nanostructuring amine boranes (i.e. BNCH materials). This seminar will therefore be an opportunity for me to give you an overview of our BH, BNH and BNCH materials, while emphasizing their (nano-)structuring which allows the production of porous ceramics and could allow the production of nanostructured thin films. The seminar series is co-organized by HB11 Energy and COST Action PROBONO - CA21128 supported by COST Association - European Cooperation in Science and Technology #ca21128 #caprobono #seminar #COSTaction #HB11  #materials

Reflecting on insightful days at the CTI Symposium in Berlin. I am pleased to share insights from my presentation on the introduction of the IPEK PEMFC Single Cell. Our research at the Institute of Product Engineering (#IPEK) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (#KIT) focuses on optimizing fuel cell components for dynamic operation in mobile applications. The IPEK PEMFC Single Cell is able to emulate the relevant boundary conditions of a complete fuel cell stack to discover potential inhomogeneous gas supply and thus improve the performance and lifetime of the PEM fuel cell system. Within the development process of PEM fuel cell components, the different scales of a fuel cell system, such as the cell, stack and system level, have to be considered. The IPEK PEMFC Single Cell allows the analysis of the interaction between the system components and the fuel cell stack itself. Furthermore, the custom designed fuel cell initiates the first steps to realize sensor integration in future applications. #CTISymposium #FuelCellDevelopment #PEMFC #CleanEnergy

🌟 Exciting News: My Research Paper on Innovative Hybrid Nanomaterial-Induced Composite PCM (HNIPCM) is Now Published! 🌟 I am thrilled to announce the publication of my latest research paper! In this experimental study, we aim to revolutionize the world of thermal energy storage by introducing different Mxene Hybrid Nanomaterials in Composite PCM (HNIPCM). Our work focused on improving the performance of photothermal conversion by the inclusion of exfoliated Mxene materials. 🌡️ Key Highlights: - We incorporated Mxene (Ti3C2Tx, M2CTx, Nb2CTx and Mo2CTx) at different weight concentrations to enhance the thermophysical properties of a eutectic organic-organic PCM (polyethylene glycol 6000/paraffin wax) through a two-step method. - Our comprehensive analysis covered the physical and chemical stability, surface morphology, and thermal feasibility of HNIPCM. We also examined energy storage capacity, melting and crystallisation temperatures, thermal stability, thermal reliability, thermal behavior, and thermal conductivity using various techniques. - The results were particularly exciting with the Ti3C2Tx HNIPCM containing 1 wt.% filler material, showing a remarkable balance in thermophysical properties compared to conventional eutectic PCMs. - The real-time performance of HNIPCM was validated using a novel photothermal conversion performance of individual HNIPCM for exciting applications, including solar thermal energy, thermal energy storage (TES), and electronic cooling units. This research project was a labour of passion and dedication to my PhD work. I'd like to express my gratitude to my mentor Dr. Krunal Gangawane. and Dr. Akhilesh Kumar Sahu, and the institution for their unwavering support throughout this journey. Full research paper is now available online at: I look forward to your valuable insights and feedback on this significant thermal energy storage technology advancement. Let's continue to push the boundaries of innovation together! 🚀 #ResearchPaper #Innovation #EnergyStorage #Energy #renewableEnergy #thermalEnergy
