Storing power from renewable energy sources is a challenge. Nicolas Plumeré wants to meet that challenge with funding from the European Research Council. For his research Dr Nicolas Plumeré has received 1.5 million Euro for five years from the European Research Council (ERC). The head of the RUB Molecular Nanostructures Research Group has received one of the prestigious ERC Starting Grants. Plumeré wants to use the funds to move closer to applications for highly active, but fragile catalysts for energy conversion. Instead of platinum It is a challenge to transform energy from renewable

COORDINATOR OF RESEARCH AREA C Please contact: Prof. Dr. D. Marx  Interfaces play a dominant role in molecular science. Heterogeneous catalysis is the prime example where reactions are accelerated due to the presence of surfaces including catalytically active liquid/solid interfaces. Within the last decades, surface science has triggered an impressive boost in the molecular understanding of catalytic processes. However, so far this has mainly been restricted to reactions at the gas-solid interface. Close to nothing is known about how reactants get de-solvated, intermediates

Under the direction of theoretical chemist Teresa Head-Gordon and laser spectroscopist Richard Saykally, several groups at UC Berkeley have established the local research consortium California explores Solvation (CALSOLV). Since 2014, Berkeley scientists address the intricate details of solvation in close collaboration with the researchers in Germany. The RESOLV/CALSOLV partnership thrives on topics such as X-ray spectroscopy of liquids and solutions, enzyme catalysis, and ab initio calculations of solvated structures and chemical reactions. The RuhrCal collaboration has started to produce
