Research projects

MacGhyver is a European Innovation Council (EIC) pathfinder project, encountering a novel route for green hydrogen production.

In this project physical-chemical and electrochemical measurements with a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) are performed in order to use the GDE in a „hybrid“ alkaline water electrolysis cell.

Multiscale analysis of complex three-phase systems: oxygen reduction at gas diffusion electrodes in hydrous electrolyte.

In this project physical-chemical and electrochemical measurements with a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) are performed in order to use the GDE in a „hybrid“ alkaline water electrolysis cell.

This complex system is investigated in detail with a particle resolved CFD simulation.

Physical-chemical analyses and electrochemical measuring methods are used to completely characterize GDE.

The electrochemical reduction of CO₂ is a promising process utilizing carbon dioxide as raw material. In the scope of this project a mathematical model for this process is developed.

The aim of this project is the development gas-diffusion electrodes for the electrochemical production of methanol from carbon dioxide.

The aim of this project is to develop a mathematical model of the process using experiments in a nearly isothermal reactor.
