Frieder Mugele (PCF), and Guido Mul (PCS) are involved with the ANION project within the Gravitation consortia. Other scientists involved are: main applicant: prof.dr. Marc (M.T.M.) Koper, Leiden University. Co-applicants: prof.dr. Petra (P.E.) de Jongh (UU), prof.dr. Huib (H.J.) Bakker (UvA/AMOLF), prof.dr. Moniek (M.) Tromp (RUG), prof.dr. Peter (P.G.) Bolhuis (UvA), prof.dr. Serge (S.G.) Lemay (UT).
With Gravitation, the government promotes excellent research in the Netherlands. It is intended for scientific consortia that are among the world's top in their field or have the potential to reach that place. It involves funding from the first flow of funds (directly through the central government). NWO was asked to carry out the selection procedure for Gravitation, which set up an independent committee of top international scientists to do the assessment.
The ANION project withing GravitationA large-scale energy transition of society requires efficient electrochemical processes for generating, converting, and storing sustainable energy. Unfortunately, existing electrochemical processes have serious limitations and are inadequate to meet the grand challenges ahead. At present there is insufficient knowledge of the processes occurring in electrochemical systems at the smallest scale to fundamentally improve these processes. In this multidisciplinary fundamental research program, chemists and physicists lay the foundation for new efficient electrochemical technologies designed to dramatically reduce humanity's carbon footprint.
