Not participating in any application round.

Bioinspired Materials, Fuel Cells

The main research direction concerns the synthesis and characterization of inorganic as well as organic / inorganic multifunctional materials. For the generation of the materials the principles of biomineralization are applied. Within the scope of this research field biomineralizing living systems, like algae or bacteria are investigated. These studies provide the base for the synthesis of functional materials. Beside this work on molecular bionics also the processing of ceramics by the thermolysis of preceramic compounds as well as powder technology and sintering are treated. In addition to that, the characterization of the structure-property relations plays an important role.

Current offers: Within the framework of a collaborative project, we are looking for a PhD candidate who can work on the synthesis and characterization of hybrid inorganic-polymer membranes for high-temperature fuel cell application. This work will entail the preparation of polymer membranes together with gas diffusion electrodes for membrane electrode assemblies (MEA), as well as fuel cell measurements.
