NWO Mat4Sus project: Nanometer-resolved in operando characterization of photocatalyst-electrolyte interfaces

January 17th 2018:  Two projects granted within the NWO Mat4Sus project: 

“Nanometer-resolved in operando characterization of photocatalyst-electrolyte interfaces by Atomic Force Microscopy

Frieder Mugele (UT), Guido Mul (UT), Igor Siretanu (UT), Bastian Mei (UT) 

Together with the group of Physics of Complex Fluids (PCF) we will characterize the properties of semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces during photo(electro)catalytic reactions using Atomic Force Microscopy and spectroscopy in liquid environment. In this 4-year project we will establish correlations between local properties and macroscopic photo(electro)catalytic activity of semiconductor materials.
