Gerhard Ertl Lecture & Award

Gerhard Ertl Lecture & Award

The Ertl Lecture Award was established in 2008 by the three Berlin universities (Humboldt University, Technical University and Free University) and the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and is awarded once a year. It commemorates former FHI Director Gerhard Ertl's Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which he received in 2007. The prize honours outstanding personalities and researchers in the field of catalysis where Ertl carried out exceptional research for many decades. The prize, sponsored by BASF, includes a one-week research stay at the participating Berlin institutions and a keynote lecture. The winner is typically announced in Spring, the lecture takes place around the December 10th, the anniversary of Ertl's Nobel Prize reception.

Speaker: Dr. Thomas Lunkenbein

Electron microscopy in heterogeneous catalysis

CatLab Lectures Modern Methods in Heterogeneous Catalysis Research
Modern Methods in Heterogeneous Catalysis Research. A series of independent lectures on basic principles and new challenges in catalysis research. The lecture series is aimed at PhD students and scientists who are interested in interfacial phenomena and the design and investigation of functional 3D and 2D materials. [more]

Operando Electron Microscopy

CatLab Lectures 2023/2024
Heterogeneous catalysis is considered one of the key technologies in prospective energy conversion scenarios. Yield, efficiency, and lifetime of heterogeneous catalysts will become of utmost importance and the demand of novel high-performance catalysts fulfilling the above- mentioned criteria will rise tremendously. To cope with the prospective high demand for these functional solids, current catalyst development approaches that are based on empirical optimization may become insufficient and should be replaced by knowledge-based catalyst design strategies.
