Research on sustainable materials
Oil reserves are dwindling, carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are increasing at an unmatched dizzying pace and levels of pollution in mega cities are unbearable. All these problems are rooted in the way we power our economies; that is still mainly by fossil fuels. Hence, newly engineered green materials based on renewable and abundant resources as well as less energy consuming processing strategies are highly needed.

The vast majority of materials we prepare are carbon-based and are synthesised through benign processing methods, like hydrothermal carbonisation and electrospinning. After synthesis and characterization, we test our materials in the target applications on a full device level. Thus, we cover the entire process chain from the raw material to the final application which gives us the opportunity to tailor materials properties towards the final application. .
