In situ structure-property relationship studies of inorganic catalysts for the energy transition

In situ structure-property relationship studies of inorganic catalysts for the energy transition
The energy transition requires the introduction of sustainable energy sources. Hydrogen is one of these options, but its efficient and sustainable production from water splitting as well as its storage is still a challenge. In order to understand the structure-property at different length scales, it ... [more]

Synthesis and Characterisation of High Entropy Metal Chalcogenides

High entropy materials are materials with 5 or more principle components within crystalline lattices. High entropy metal chalcogenides are a recent (since 2016) development in this area that have shown exceptional promise in both thermoelectric energy conversion and electrocatalysis. However, these ... [more]

Mechano-catalytic depolymerization of plastic waste

MPI SusMat Colloquium
Only 12% of plastic waste is recycled, mainly because the predominantly applied technique of melting and re-extrusion produces a lower quality material [1]. Alternatively, chemical depolymerization can produce monomers to make high-quality plastics again. [more]

Hydrogen effects on the deformation and fracture of alloys

MPI SusMat Colloquium
The increasing demand on lightweight structures requires high-strength materials. However, with increasing strength many materials show an increasing susceptibility to hydrogen embrittlement. Hence, it is of vital interest to understand the mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement. [more]

Designing thermoelectric chalcogenides with atom probe tomography

Thermoelectric materials can realize waste heat recovery and solid-state refrigeration, providing sustainable solutions to the energy crisis and environmental pollution. The performance of thermoelectric materials is gauged by the transport of electrons and phonons. Materials with fast electron ... [more]
