Electronic structure
Group leader: Axel Knop-Gericke
Research area
The electronic structure of catalytically active solid materials constitutes the focus of our research. Surface reactions, the local chemical potential and the local electronic and geometric properties of the solid surfaces are strongly interconnected. We deal with heterogenous as well as electrocatalysts and therefore we investigate both solid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces, mostly in-situ or operando and in silico.
