In-situ atomic scale study of active states during (photo-)electrochemical water splitting (C02)

Subject Area Physical Chemistry of Solids and Surfaces, Material Characterisation
Term since 2013
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 217133147
 
The goal of this project is to identify electric field and photon-driven mechanisms which allow for running water splitting / oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the lowest possible overpotential. We have established that during OER a dynamic interface state to water, controlled by correlations, is characteristic for the active state of manganite perovskites. In the 3rd period, the project will apply the developed in-situ environmental TEM and time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy methods to the study of highly active systems and aims at the development of a comprehensive understanding of reaction mechanisms that lead to lowest overpotential in collaboration with theoretical projects.
