Research
Sustainable alternatives to conventional processes are necessary to cope with the increasing depletion of fossil resources in energy production, the strong industrial demand for chemical feedstocks, and thus to reduce the greenhouse effect. The electrification of organic synthesis processes and the optimization of the sustainable production of hydrogen are two crucial measures in this respect with regard to the energy transition.
For knowledge-based optimization of catalysts and electrode properties and for efficient continuous operation, a detailed understanding of the individual reaction steps and transport processes at the interface between electrode and electrolyte is essential.
My research focuses on the model-based analysis of electro-organic synthesis processes, mainly the electrolysis of bio-based substances.
The approach of dynamic micro- and macrokinetic modeling provides essential insights into the reaction and transport processes and enables the identification of efficiency-limiting processes.
