Nano-structure of Applied Interfaces

Nano-structure of Applied Interfaces

innovative materials microstructure and properties
The nano-structure of surfaces influences the interactions and reactions occurring on it, which has strong impacts for applications in diverse fields, such as wetting phenomena, electrochemistry or biotechnology. We study these nanoscale structures on functional interfaces by nano-spectroscopy. Furthermore we try to understand their influence on the interfacial solvent structure.

Understanding Electrochemical Water Splitting

electrolysis energy materials hydrogen method development sustainability
Water electrolysis has the potential to become the major technology for the production of the high amount of green hydrogen that is necessary for its widespread application in a decarbonized economy. The bottleneck of this electrochemical reaction is the anodic partial reaction, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is sluggish and hence requires efficient catalysts. We use electrochemical in situ spectroscopy techniques to study this reaction in detail. more
Smart Electro-Responsive Interfaces for Controlled Biomolecule Adsorption

Smart Electro-Responsive Interfaces for Controlled Biomolecule Adsorption

innovative materials
Electro-responsive interfaces alter their properties in response to an electric potential trigger. Hence, such 'smart' interfaces offer exciting possibilities for applications in, for instance, microfluidics, separation systems, biosensors and -analytics. more
