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 techniques including microwave-heated, plasma-based, and soft chemistry methods as well as the development of (self-)regenerative properties of the materials during dynamic energy conversion processes. The within the group designed energy conversion materials cover the fields of thermoelectrics, power-to-X, and photo(electro)catalysis.
The intensive cooperation between the team members at TU Darmstadt and Fraunhofer IWKS allows faster innovation processes by having a comprehensive view on energy conversion materials.

New Research Project on Integration of “Green Hydrogen” in the Plasma Conversion of CO2 (NexPlas) granted
2021/02/04
Our new research project NexPlas aims on the combination of a plasma with a membrane process for the synthesis of high-quality basic chemicals such as methanol from CO2 and “green hydrogen”. We will focus on the development of recyclate-based synthesis routes of membrane materials and the materials interaction with hydrogen. The research project will start on 1 March 2021.
