The influence of surface charge on the coalescence of ice and dust particles in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (2021)
Journal Article
Baptiste, J., Williamson, C., Fox, J., Stace, A. J., Hassan, M., Braun, S., …Besley, E. (2021). The influence of surface charge on the coalescence of ice and dust particles in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 21(11), 8735-8745. https://doi.org/10.5194/acp-21-8735-2021

Agglomeration of charged ice and dust particles in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere is studied using a classical electrostatic approach, which is extended to capture the induced polarisation of surface charge. Collision outcomes are predicted wh... Read More about The influence of surface charge on the coalescence of ice and dust particles in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere.

A high-throughput screening of metal–organic framework based membranes for biogas upgrading (2021)
Journal Article
Glover, J., & Besley, E. (2021). A high-throughput screening of metal–organic framework based membranes for biogas upgrading. Faraday Discussions, 231, 235-257. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1fd00005e

Applications of biomethane as a source of renewable energy and transport fuel rely heavily on successful implementation of purification methods capable of removing undesirable impurities from biogas and increasing its calorific content. Metal–organic... Read More about A high-throughput screening of metal–organic framework based membranes for biogas upgrading.
