Materials and Resources
The Materials & Resources Group focus on the synthesis and characterization of novel energy conversion materials.
Prof. Dr. Anke Weidenkaff - Head of the Research Group
Our research interest is driven by the application of advanced synthesis and recycling techniques including microwave-heated, plasma-based, and soft chemistry methods prioritizing low process emissions and environmental impact as well as the development of (self-)regenerative properties of the materials during dynamic energy conversion processes. The group focuses on designing energy conversion materials covering the fields of thermoelectrics, power-to-X, photo(electro)catalysis, oxygen transport membranes and waste plastic conversion.
