个人简介

Emiel Hensen, born in Geleen (The Netherlands) in 1971, received his master degree in chemical engineering and chemistry from Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) in 1994. He obtained his PhD from the same university in the field of molecular heterogeneous catalysis under the supervision of Prof. Rutger van Santen and Prof. Rob van Veen. He then took up an assistant professor position with Prof. Berend Smit at University of Amsterdam. In 2001 he returned to Eindhoven University of Technology as an assistant professor. He was promoted to associate professor in 2008. From 2006-2008 he was a visiting research scientist at the Shell Research and Technology Center Amsterdam (The Netherlands). Hensen is since July 2009 full professor inorganic materials chemistry at Eindhoven University of Technology. He is a visiting professor at Leuven University since 2001. Hensen is the (co)author of some 100 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, several articles in national journals and 5 book contributions. He obtained the prestigious VENI-STW NWO and VIDI-STW NWO grants from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research for his research work in 2003 and 2007 and a Casimir grant in 2005. Hensen is board member of the Netherlands Research School for Catalysis (NIOK) and affiliated to the National Research School Combination on Catalysis (NRSC-C).

研究领域

Molecular Catalysis

The Hensen group focuses on the generation of scientific and technological knowledge in the field of catalyst systems relevant to the development of clean and sustainable processes for the production of fuels and chemicals. Modern concepts of catalysis are used to design catalysts to use current and future feedstocks in an as sustainable manner as possible with minimum environmental burden and energy consumption. Focus is on the synthesis of complex catalyst systems containing well-designed catalytically active ensembles and structured at various length scales to optimize reaction and diffusion. Applications are directed towards the improvement of current industrial processes, transition technologies involving natural gas and the implementation of novel processes using renewable feedstocks such as biomass and carbon dioxide. The main research topics of the Hensen group are: - Structure-activity relations in heterogeneous catalysis with emphasis on the understanding of reaction mechanism. These studies combine computational catalysis (DFT), in situ spectroscopy (XAS, IR, Raman) and kinetic modelling (experimental kinetics, microkinetic modelling). Catalytic reactions of interest are alkane activation, selective oxidation, steam reforming, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Topics of interest are the influence of nanoparticle size on catalytic performance, oxidation of very small metal nanoparticles involving catalysis by Au and Au alloys, Rh and liquid phase CO hydrogenation reactions for Ru, Rh and other metals. - Synthesis of microporous and mesoporous materials. Fundamental understanding of the principles underlying the assembly of porous materials with a special focus on the hierarchical structuring and active sites. Experimental and theoretical studies of cationic complexes of Fe, Cu, Ga and Zn in microporous zeolites. Theory of Brønsted acidity of aluminosilicates. - Biomass valorization. Development of catalytic processing routes of lignocellulosic biomass. Topics addressed are the depolymerization of lignin, conversion fo sugars to useful platform molecules, novel support concepts for biomass valorization. - Utilization of carbon dioxide as feedstock. Capture and conversion of carbon dioxide via absorption, catalytic conversion by hydrogenation and electrochemical reduction.
