The Theory Department at the Fritz Haber Institute successfully launched its first Repair Club, initiated by postdoctoral researcher Martin Deimel in collaboration with the ELAB. The event brought together colleagues to learn and share skills in repairing electronic devices, focusing on replacing batteries in older laptops. more

From July 8th to 16th, the Zuse Institute hosted the CECAM Flagship Workshop titled “Machine Learning of First Principles Observables.” Organized by the Theory Department of the Fritz Haber Institute, the workshop focused on addressing the increasing demand for advanced models, workflows, and databases. The workshop effectively pinpointed key areas for enhancement in predicting observables from first principles and laid the groundwork for a collaborative network to drive future research initiatives. more

The Theory Department of the Fritz Haber Institute calls attention to catalyst morphology as a key factor in determining what product is being formed during an electrocatalytic reaction. The analysis, published in Nature Catalysis, explores how the ‘roughness’ of a catalyst surface changes the selectivity for a number of technologically important reactions, including the electrochemical conversion of CO₂ into fuels and H₂O formation in fuel-cells. The results offer a new perspective on how catalyst design could optimize electrochemical processes, while challenging the traditional picture that focuses entirely on the nature of the active site at the atomic level. more

The Fritz Haber Institute is pleased to announce that Dr. Hanna Türk has been awarded the Otto Hahn Medal for her ground-breaking work elucidating the atomic-scale degradation mechanism of working interfaces in solid oxide electrolyzers.
