  Research Interests


My research focus at the electrocatalytic green engineering group are development of an electronical rechargable Zn/Air Redox Flow Battery and development of low weight and economic oxygen/air bi-functional electrodes.
Furthermore I am interested in surface modification via electrochemical methods, electrocatalyst for CO2RR, HER and the development of electrocatalytical membrane reactors such as for carbondioxide and nitrogen reduction to produce valuable chemicals or fuels.
