Improving Consistency in Methane Emission Quantification from the Natural Gas Distribution System across Measurement Devices
(2024)Efficient and cost-effective mitigation of methane emissions from local gas distribution systems requires full characterization of leaks across an urban region. Mobile real-time measurements of ambient CH4 provide a fast ... -
A global database of accreted Ocean Plate Stratigraphy (OPS): towards reconstructing subducted hotspot tracks
(2024)This thesis presents a comprehensive exploration of Mesozoic Oceanic Plate Stratigraphy (OPS) within accreted orogenic belts, with a specific focus on identifying and compiling Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts (MORB) and Ocean ... -
The Effect of the Distribution of Cu and Ag in Tandem Catalysts on the Production of Ethylene in the Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction Reaction
(2024)The increasing demand for electrical energy storage due to the energy transition has prompted research into the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2. Concentrating on the production of ethylene is a promising approach to ... -
Carbon Dots for Super-resolution Imaging of Nanoporous Catalysts
(2024)Mass transport within the pore structure of a catalyst particle is a crucial factor in its catalytic efficiency. Therefore, studying the pore network of a catalyst is vital for rational catalyst design. One promising method ... -
Morphological considerations in templated porous Ag catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction
(2024)Electrochemical reduction of CO2 using renewable electricity is a promising strategy to produce fuels and chemical feedstocks while simultaneously decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Porous Ag catalysts are reported to ... -
Consumer Preference for End-of-Life Scenarios in the Fashion Industry
(2024)Over the past two decades, global textile production and consumption have doubled, underscoring the environmental toll of the fashion industry's linear "take, make, waste" model. As the environmental burden of the fashion ... -
