Welcome to the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung

Our international team pioneers advanced basic materials research in key areas like sustainability, energy, digitalization, mobility, infrastructure, and medicine.

Our focus lies in nanostructured metallic materials and semiconductors. Our approach encompasses every step of the process: from responsible synthesis and processing to characterization down to the atomic and electronic scale and property analysis. By doing so, we gain valuable insights to create new, tailor-made structural and functional materials that excel even in the most challenging real-world operating environments.

Our dynamic structure and global collaborations empower us to tackle pressing global challenges, including CO2 reduction, sustainable production, energy conversion, automotive drive technology, machine learning, and the quest for high-performance materials.
