The research group of Dr. Schröder "Real-world electrocatalysts and insights into nanoscale dynamics" focuses on:

Material synthesis of energy production and conversion catalysts
Electrocatalytic testing of electrocatalysts of several electrochemical production and conversion reactions, in particular for water electrolyzer
Material characterization of electrocatalyst under operation with a focus on various in-situ and operando synchrotron techniques
Design optimization of electrochemical testing cells, e.g., for water electrolyzer systems
