Towards more sustainable uses of rare earth elements - from an inorganic and biological perspective

Colloquia Series on Sustainable Metallurgy
Lanthanides (Ln) - the f-elements from Ce to Lu, along with La - are indispensable for modern life. These elements are at the heart of advancements in green energy technologies, energy-efficient lighting, and various industrial and medical applications. [more]

Real-Time Insights into Sustainable Materials: Correlative Electron Microscopy and Synchrotron Techniques

Colloquia Series on Sustainable Metallurgy
Catalytic materials are crucial for energy conversion technologies, and their optimization requires a deep understanding of their nanoscale structure and behavior. Techniques like ex-situ and in-situ TEM, combined with synchrotron-based methods such as XAS and XRD, enable detailed analysis of catalysts, revealing how atomic-scale changes impact their performance. This presentation discusses how these advanced characterization tools provide a comprehensive view of catalytic mechanisms. [more]
