    granted in 2022/2023


    Infrastructure development "Photocatalytic water splitting"

    As part of the "Photocatalytic water splitting" infrastructure project, it is planned to develop component structures for direct hydrogen production through photocatalysis, i. e. by breaking down water into its components with the help of sunlight, and to quantitatively characterize battery materials and link the results to the properties of the materials.

    For this purpose, a focussed ion beam system with a scanning electron microscope (FIB/SEM) was procured as part of the project and integrated into the existing devices infrastructure in order to be able to carry out experiments for detailed structural characterization of the materials using electron microscopic methods.
