Abstract

Phebe van Langevelde earned her BSc in molecular science and technology from Leiden University and Delft University of Technology (joint degree) in 2017. She completed a master's degree in chemistry with a specialization in energy and sustainability at Leiden University in 2020, working on the development of catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction, and was a visiting student at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ). Since 2020, she is a PhD candidate in the Catalysis and Surface Chemistry group of Leiden University. Her current research focuses on electrocatalysis for the sustainable production of hydrogen peroxide. Ioannis Katsounaros is the leader of the Electrosynthesis group at the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg for renewable energy, an institute of Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH (FZJ). He graduated with a PhD in chemical engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2009, working on the electrochemical reduction of nitrate. He was a post-doc at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung (2010–2013) and a Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellow, first at the Argonne National Laboratory (outgoing phase, 2013–2015) and then at the University of Leiden (return phase, 2015–2016) before joining FZJ in September 2016. His research interests are on physical electrochemistry and electrocatalysis. Marc Koper is professor of surface chemistry and catalysis at Leiden University. He received his PhD degree (1994) from Utrecht University with a thesis on nonlinear dynamics and oscillations in electrochemistry. He was an EU Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ulm and a Fellow of Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences at Eindhoven University of Technology before moving to Leiden in 2005. His research focuses on fundamental aspects of electrocatalysis, theoretical electrochemistry, and electrochemical surface science in relation to renewable energy and chemistry. He has received various national and international awards, including the Netherlands Catalysis and Chemistry Award (2019) and the Faraday Medal (2017).
