Plasma-derived nanocatalysts for hydrogen evolution (B13)

• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas ; Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 327886311

The use of nanoparticles consisting of two or more different elements is catalytically desirable, as the catalytic properties can be adjusted by the composition, size, morphology and configuration of the nanoparticles. The project will systematically investigate the APP-based synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles on different support materials and analyze the structure-activity relationships on a particle-by-particle basis. This will make it possible to identify APP-derived electrocatalysts with particularly high catalytic performance.
