INORGANIC MEMBRANES

Advanced Ceramics Processing

The objective is the fabrication of (new) advanced ceramics and to examine its microstructure. It concerns preparation, consolidation and microstructural characteristics of (ultra) fine-grained (oxidic) powders, ceramics and coatings

Solid State Ionics

Research within this theme encompasses the study of fast ionic and mixed ionic-electronic transport in condensed phases and associated interfacial/electrode reactions. Main interest is focused to the fundamentals of technological applications, such as dense ceramic membranes and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC).

Microporous Ceramic Membranes

Research within this theme encompasses the study of inorganic micro- and mesoporous ceramic membranes for use in energy-efficient gas separation, pervaporation and nanofiltration processes as well as the use of these membranes in membrane reactors.
