We onderzoeken foto-elektrochemische cellen voor de directe omzetting van zonne-energie in een chemische brandstof. Ons project, hoewel fundamenteel, kan leiden tot een verbeterde efficiëntie van deze innovatieve apparaten. We onderzoeken ook het mechanisme van chemische glycosyleringsreacties om synthetische oligosachariden te vormen, die relevant zijn als basis voor moderne medicijnen. Bovendien bestuderen we het mechanisme van lichtactivatie van metaalcomplexen voor geneesmiddelen tegen kanker, met als doel de bijwerkingen van chemotherapie aanzienlijk te verminderen.", "summary_en": "This computational project is relevant in the context of two main research topics: energy sustainability and drug discovery. We investigate dye-sensitized photo-electrochemical cells for the direct conversion of solar energy into a chemical fuel. Our project, though fundamental in nature, can lead to improved efficiency in these innovative devices. We also investigate the mechanism of chemical glycosylation reactions to form synthetic oligosaccharides, which are relevant scaffolds in drug development. Moreover, we study the mechanism of light activation of metal complexes for anticancer drugs, with the aim of considerably reducing side effects of chemotherapy.", "grant_id": "https://doi.org/10.61686/CGFNH38273", "project_members": [ { "role": "Main Applicant", "member_id": 104490, "last_name": "Buda", "degree_pre_nominal": "dr.", "initials": "F.", "first_name": "Francesco", "organisation": "Universiteit Leiden||Faculteit der Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen||Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC)||Biofysische organische chemie", "organisation_id": 80475, "ror": "https://ror.org/027bh9e22", "active": true }, { "role": "Project leader", "member_id": 104490, "last_name": "Buda", "degree_pre_nominal": "dr.", "initials": "F.", "first_name": "Francesco", "organisation": "Universiteit Leiden||Faculteit der Wiskunde en Natuurwetenschappen||Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC)||Biofysische organische chemie", "organisation_id": 80475, "ror": "https://ror.org/027bh9e22", "active": true } ], "products": [ { "title": "Coupled Electronic and Nuclear Dynamics at Interfaces of Artificial Photosynthesis Devices", "year": 2025, "edition": "1", "type": "Proefschrift", "url_open_access": "https://hdl.handle.net/1887/4259657", "journal_title": "Leiden University Scholarly Publications", "isbn": "978-94-6522-528-9", "city": "Leiden: Ridderprint", "authors": [ { "last_name": "de Haas", "initials": "T", "first_name": "Titus", "role": "Auteur" } ] }, { "title": "Limiting Molecular Twisting: Upgrading a Donor–Acceptor Dye to Drive H2 Evolution", "year": 2024, "edition": "11", "start": 2403454, "end": 2403454, "type": "Wetenschappelijk artikel", "url_open_access": "https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202403454", "journal_title": "Advanced Science", "authors": [ { "last_name": "Huijser", "initials": "A", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "Buda", "initials": "F", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "Zhu", "initials": "K", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "de Haas", "initials": "T", "role": "Auteur" } ] }, { "title": "Hybrid-DFT Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Photocatalytic Water Oxidation in a [Ru-bda]-Dye Complex", "year": 2024, "edition": "128", "start": 20093, "end": 20103, "type": "Wetenschappelijk artikel", "url_open_access": "https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.4c05104", "journal_title": "The Journal of Physical Chemistry C", "authors": [ { "last_name": "Zaaruolo", "initials": "A", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "Kreupeling", "initials": "B", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "Calvani", "initials": "D", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "Buda", "initials": "F", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "de Groot", "initials": "HJM", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "Rutgers", "initials": "J", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "de Haas", "initials": "T", "role": "Auteur" }, { "last_name": "de Jong", "initials": "T", "role": "Auteur" } ] } ] }, { "project_id": "FoI.2024.026", "title": "Microbes for a Sustainable Agriculture", "funding_scheme_id": 4941, "funding_scheme": "Faculty of Impact - 24/25 Agriculture Water Food and Circular Economy", "department": "Toegepaste en Technische Wetenschappen", "sub_department": "Toegepaste en Technische Wetenschappen", "start_date": "2025-06-02T00:00:00", "reporting_year": 2025, "summary_nl": "Landbouw is cruciaal voor het produceren van voedsel voor een groeiende wereldbevolking, maar kent grote uitdagingen.
