Welcome to Prof. Wiemhöfer's Group
Our research is focusing on conducting functional materials. Materials of interest include, for instance, crystalline compounds such as silver and copper sulfides, mixed conducting oxides with perovskite structure, oxygen ion conductors such as ceria and zirconia as well as polymers, in particular polysiloxanes and polyphosphazenes. Synthesis, characterization, and in particular, the electrochemistry of the investigated materials are our main interest. The background consists of functional applications in chemical sensors, gas permeation membranes, fuel cells, switchable storage devices, and in the last years, increasingly important in lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries.
Our group in November 2011
We are looking for new students and PhD students. We offer interesting topics and research projects in fundamental and applied solid state chemistry and electrochemistry. Please send your application or visit us.
