Project C1
Synthesis of Transition Metal Oxides with Controlled Mesostructure
Prof. Dr. Malte Behrens
PD Dr. Harun Tüysüz
Project C1 develops scalable and reproducible synthesis methods based on aqueous chemistry and hard templating for transition metal oxide powders of the spinel- and perovskite-types with controllable physical and chemical properties. Porosity and morphology will be controlled by hard templating (nanocasting) in the Tüysüz group and the crystalline precursor decomposition in the Behrens group. The materials will be selected for the CRC/TRR’s central Comparative Study based on screening tests for CO oxidation in the gas phase and for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution (OER) and cerium redox probe reactions in the liquid phase.
