Industrial Chemistry & Heterogeneous Catalysis
The research goal of the group is the use of renewable energy for the heterogeneously catalyzed activation of small molecules such as CO2, H2O, N2 or short-chain alcohols. We explore various ways of energy input, such as the use of light in photocatalysis, renewable electricity in electrocatalysis, new heat sources in thermal catalysis, or combinations thereof.
A diverse toolbox of operando spectroscopy is applied to identify the active sites under reaction conditions to describe structure-function relationships. This includes the development of novel high-performance reactors and spectroscopic cells (see research overview).
