A department in the field of energy
The Electrosynthesis department focuses on the production of hydrogen and the question of how CO2 can be electrochemically converted into valuable starting materials for industries.
The path to electrosynthesis leads via electrocatalysis: Scientists at Fraunhofer UMSICHT develop catalysts, electrodes and reactors as well as innovative approaches to design the entire power-to-x process – from the laboratory bench to the pilot plant in industrial application. In addition, interdisciplinary concepts for overarching scientific questions are developed.
