The meeting progressed with each partner updating on the advancement of the project in the form of a 30-minute presentation. Discussions ranged from discussing the probable catalyst design to their characterization techniques. The electrocatalytic activities of clusters deposited at K U Leuven were tested at ELCAT and VITO and showed a promising result for eCO2R (electrochemical CO2 reduction) to ethylene.
The meeting also served as a platform to outline future directions and objectives for the CLUE project, emphasizing the importance of sustained collaboration and innovation in driving scientific progress. By pooling together diverse talents and resources, the project aims to tackle pressing challenges and unlock new frontiers in microscopy and beyond.
A tour of the K U Leuven lab was organized at the end of the meeting. Equipment used for cluster deposition, such as Laser Ablation Cluster Beam Deposition, was shown and explained. The pictures of instruments are provided below.
