Water is all around us and is vital for all aspects of life. Studying the various compounds and life forms that inhabit natural waters lets us better understand the world around us.

In the search for sustainable energy solutions, the idea of artificial photosynthesis has been proposed as an approach with which to use water and sunlight to produce hydrogen.

De Universiteit Leiden houdt haar drinkwaterverbruik zo klein mogelijk.

Before the large scale use of renewable energy sources can be implemented in our society, the storage of electrical energy needs to be tackled. Storage the energy as hydrogen via the reduction of protons is a good option.

To design the ideal water oxidation catalyst, understanding of the catalytic mechanism and decomposition pathways is essential.

Nederland telt een achttal echte eilanden, of negen als ‘Rottum’ (Rottumeroog en Rottumerplaat) voor twee wordt gerekend. Daarnaast zijn er zeventien voormalige eilanden, waar de sfeer van vroeger nog voelbaar is. Jan Bank en Doeko Bosscher, fervente eilandliefhebbers, onderzoeken de geschiedenis van…

Astronomical observations of cold regions in the universe show a rich inventory of ices. Part of these ices may end up on planets like our own, but in that journey they will be exposed to considerable amounts of radiation.

In this dissertation iron-based homogeneous catalysts were synthesized, characterized and investigated for water oxidation activity.

While ecosystems have concrete benefits for human society, these benefits are typically overlooked in decision-making.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

De jongeren van nu groeien op met sociale media. Mogelijk heeft dat invloed op de ontwikkeling van herssengebieden die betrokken zijn bij sociale interactie. Crone en Konijn laten in dit overzichtsartikel in Nature Communications zien hoe neurowetenschappelijke kennis kan bijdragen aan een beter begrip…

Ice, the solid state of water, plays an important role on our planet as well as the entire universe.Despite the fact that an individual water molecule has a very simple structure, its chemical bonding in the solid phase can be surprisingly complex.

Door menselijke invloeden, bijvoorbeeld vervuiling, kunnen levende watersystemen gaan wankelen. Dat heeft niet alleen gevolgen voor de biodiversiteit, maar ook voor functies als waterzuivering. De Universiteit Leiden brengt levende watersystemen in kaart met de modernste technieken.

As a virtually inexhaustible source, solar energy plays a major role in future global energy scenarios.

Assessing the risks of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) solely on the basis of experimental assays is time-consuming, resource intensive, and constrained by ethical considerations (such as the principles of the 3Rs of animal testing). The adoption of computational toxicology in this field is a high p…
