Research

Our Mission

The central scope of research focuses on increasing the sustainability of chemical processes or enabling novel sustainable solutions by the use of catalysis. As a general approach, a holistic system understanding is targeted by combining catalyst synthesis, process design and sophisticated ex-situ and operando characterization methods. The established structure-activity-correlations are then utilized to initiate a knowledge driven catalyst and process development.
