Materials for Renewable Energies

Renewable energies and the role of materials and the associated harsh environmental exposure for these systems are currently a hot topic in industry and basic research. In this newsletter edition we demonstrate how our researchers contribute to this field, both in terms of theoretical and experimental approaches such as employed for the improvement of solar and fuel cells, and new wet chemical synthesis techniques. Moreover, a new independent Max Planck Research Group on ‘Nanoanalytics and Interfaces’ was established. Please also have a look at the upcoming events and workshops.
