Team Efficient Hydrogen Release
Head: Dr. Moritz Wolf
Our goal is to develop technologies to enable chemical energy storage with high efficiency. To achieve this, we conduct fundamental research on heterogeneous catalysis as well as applied engineering research on advanced reactors and systems. The research scope is focused on sustainable catalysis and engineering for a successful energy transition with topics, such as:
• Storage of hydrogen in liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs),
• Efficient hydrogen release from LOHCs,
• Seminal valorisation of carbon dioxide, and
• Sustainable production of synthesis gas.
For that purpose, we study the morphology, surface characteristics and bulk properties of catalysts using classical characterisation techniques (microscopy, spectroscopic and diffraction techniques, elemental analysis, adsorption methods, thermal analysis) to understand the relationship between structure-reactivity and structure-stability in catalysis. Hence, we combine various aspects of catalysis with research in the field of chemical reaction engineering, like:
• Preparation and design of alternative catalysts,
• Sophisticated in situ characterisation under reaction conditions,
• Catalyst deactivation,
• Reaction kinetics,
• Development of model catalysts,
• Synthesis of well-defined (supported) nanoparticles,
• Reactor and process design,
• Reaction engineering, and
• Thermodynamics of reactions, processes and nanomaterials.
