Research Topics in the Field of Electrochemistry

We use electrochemical methods for material extraction and conversion, for example, the extraction of metals and alloys from ores or the conversion of carbon dioxide, and for material analysis. In electrochemical analysis, our current focus is on corrosion investigations, both in the form of experiments and through modeling.

Electrochemical Reduction of Regolith

These research projects aim to develop a process for the electrolytic extraction of metals and the production of oxygen from metal oxides.

Schema der Zelle zur CO2 Reduktion

Electrochemical CO2-reduction

This project is about converting CO2 into usable green chemicals. This is to be achieved with the help of enzymes, i.e., proteins that control biochemical reactions. The enzymes need a fuel to convert CO2: NADH. Our research focuses on the recovery of NADH via electrochemical reactions.
