Neue Materialien für Energieumwandlung und -speicherung: Aktuelle Forschung am Lehrstuhl für Physikalische Chemie
摘要
Research at the Chair of Physical Chemistry at Montanuniversität Leoben focuses on sustainable energy conversion and storage. Under the leadership of Edith Bucher, solid oxide electrolysis is being further developed as a method for producing green hydrogen and syngas. Innovative materials such as high-entropy perovskites are being designed to create high-performance, long-term stable, and resource-efficient electrodes. Projects like “MateriaLyze,” “Design-SOEC,” and “AddEus” focus on material innovations and alternative manufacturing methods, such as 3D printing, to improve the efficiency and sustainability of electrolysis cells. The research group led by Christoph Rameshan is dedicated to heterogeneous catalysis for CO2 conversion into valuable chemicals such as methanol and syngas. In particular, perovskite-based materials are being optimized for their catalytic properties to develop more efficient and stable catalysts. The “Sisyphus” project is working on the commercialization of new catalyst technologies, while the Sparkling Science project “CO2 Conversion” focuses on raising awareness of CO2 as a resource. Additionally, innovative processes for CO2 capture from industrial emissions are being researched to make the CO2 cycle more sustainable.
