The research program is aimed at the development of innovative materials and concepts for photo- and electrocatalytic reactions with high efficiency to a sustainable chemical industry.
Topics of interest
- The focus of the research program is on the conversion of solar or electrical energy into chemical energy, i.e. to drive thermodynamically uphill reactions such as the conversion of CO2 and the splitting of water.
- Furthermore, the PCS group focuses on purification of waste streams, including contaminated water or air. Solutions based on both, electrocatalytic (water) and photocatalytic technology (water and air), are developed.
- Finally, industrial chemistry is included in the research portfolio, with emphasis on methane activation (photocatalysis) and chlorate production (electrochemistry).
