Beschreibung

As one of 76 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft we show how to not only master crises, but grow from them.

Pushing boundaries. Always trying something new. Not just thinking, but thinking ahead. We turn research into the future.

We want an earth that is worth living on.

With our research in the divisions of climate-neutral energy systems, resource-efficient processes and circular products, we make concrete contributions to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

Our employees conduct research in the fields of energy, environment, safety, health, communication and mobility.

For the green energy economy and (chemical) industry of the future, electrosynthetic processes are indispensable.

In our "Electrocatalysis" group, we research catalysts, cell concepts and electrolysis conditions in order to optimize them for industrial scale.

For water electrolysis, precious metal-free catalysts are established for the cathode of a zero-gap cell. In this master thesis, the electrode environment for a given catalyst system will be optimized.
