Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are a promising technology for sustainable energy generation, offering high efficiency and minimal environmental impact -- by producing only water and heat as byproducts. However, widespread adoption has been hindered by challenges, such as the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics at the cathode and the high cost of platinum (Pt) catalysts.    DATE & TIME 📆 Thursday, March 27th, 2025 🕔 16:00 (CET)

Advanced semiconductor processes require clean and properly treated surfaces, free of particulate and residue defects. While atomic species can be identified on these defects via EDS , organic and inorganic compounds cannot be named if they are smaller than ~ 200 nm.   DATE & TIME 📆 Wednesday, November 13th, 2024 🕔 11:00 (CET)

Differing from the bulk properties of materials, surfaces and interfaces often hold the key to successful products in the market. The need to understand surface and interface behavior has driven the development of instruments and methods that provide surface-sensitive information distinct from the underlying bulk material - Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), time-of-flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).   DATE & TIME 📆 Tuesday, November 18th, 2024 🕔 10:00 (CET)
