Summary

The HILM (HIern) Department encompasses a wide range of research initiatives focused on sustainable energy solutions and advanced processing technologies. The core academic and industrial mission addresses the need for climate-neutral power generation, storage, and efficient utilization within a modern, chemically integrated industrial context. Key areas include the development of material properties through electrowetting and electrolytic membrane techniques, enabling the efficient capture, storage, and distribution of renewable energy. Researchers focus on the electrochemical kinetics of catalysts, specifically designing new catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis and designing polymer membranes for high-efficiency water electrolysis. Simulations and experiments address the simulation of complex fluid flows and phase interfaces, such as droplets and films in photovoltaics, which are critical for optimizing light trapping and charge separation in solar devices. Furthermore, the institute investigates the mechanisms of matter transformation in electrocatalysis and utilizes high-throughput methods to design and characterize photovoltaic devices. In addition to fundamental research, the department focuses on practical applications, including LOHC (long-lived oxygen carrier) dehydration technologies, electrochemical hydriding, and process intensification for photovoltaic cells.
