Iron complexes as electrocatalysts for the water oxidation reaction
In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.
-
Mechanistic studies of the water oxidation reaction with molecular iron catalysts
In this dissertation iron-based homogeneous catalysts were synthesized, characterized and investigated for water oxidation activity.

Artificial metallo-proteins for photocatalytic water splitting: stability and activity in artificial photosynthesis
Climate change is one of the largest challenges faced by humanity. To combat this research into alternatives to fossil fuels is ongoing. Dihydrogen is considered a good alternative fuel, since its burning only forms water.

Photoinduced processes in dye-sensitized photoanodes under the spotlight: a multiscale in silico investigation
With increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and their detrimental effect on the global climate, modern society needs to push for more renewable energy sources. Storing widely accessible and abundant solar energy in chemical bonds in the form of molecular fuel via artificial photosynthesis…

Energy & Sustainability
Twenty years from now, the world population is estimated to be around 8.7 billion people, compared to the current 7.3 billion. In combination with the improvements in living standards and the corresponding growth in consumption, this will result in an enormous increase in the demand for food, consumables,…

Two cum laude distinctions for storing renewable energy
Both Leon Jacobse and Thom Hersbach from Marc Koper's research group obtained their PhDs cum laude. They both investigated changes on the surface of a platinum electrode. Jacobse studied this at a positive voltage, Hersbach at a negative voltage. Platinum has the potential to convert renewable energy…

The role of bubble formation in sustainable hydrogen production
The sustainable production of hydrogen could potentially be made more efficient by adding a cleverly chosen salt to the process. Researchers at the Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC), in collaboration with physicists at the University of Twente, have discovered that the type of salt present in the…
