Design of microflyers for environmental monitoring
In the next decade, distributed sensor network systems made of small flying sensors, from dust-scale to insect-scale, will enable a step change in monitoring natural disasters and remote areas. Read more
Porous superadsorbents for effective and selective adsorption of H2O from inorganic gases mixtures
Water is an essential element for life and industry and there are numerous applications were an effective and selective separation of water vapour from a gaseous mixture is required. Read more
Development of Thermally Regenerative Redox Flow Batteries for combined energy storage
Redox flow batteries (RFB) are a type of electrochemical energy storage device where electrical energy is stored via chemical “reduction and oxidation” reactions in a liquid electrolyte. Read more
Computational design of bio-inspired silica materials for carbon capture
Materials that are porous at the nanoscale are used in a wide variety of applications, like gas separation, carbon capture, catalysis and drug delivery. Read more
What makes particle packings stable? Explaining and engineering random loose packing
How particles pack together to make stable structures is a puzzle that has been addressed by many illustrious scientists and engineers, including Kepler, Coulomb and James Clerk Maxwell. Read more
Designing the properties of renewable plastics
The world relies on the availability of cheap and plentiful plastics, which can have a wide range of functionalities and applications. Read more
Valorisation of wet biomass wastes with carbon dioxide for sustainable fuel productions
The global wet organic waste production increases over years. It is recognised that the development of alternative, cleaner sources of fuels from wet biomass waste can help to secure energy sources and address environmental challenges. Read more
New methods for removal of pollutants from water
Emerging pollutants have been linked to adverse effects in humans and wildlife, such species e.g. metaldehyde as a persistent pesticide, as well as pentabromobiphenylether, 4-nonylphenol, C10-C13 chloroalkanes and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, which are listed as priority hazardous substances by the EU (refs.
