Proton Transport in Material for Fuel Cell applicationThe project "functionalized nanohybrides for electrochemical application" ( part of DFG Priority Program SPP1181 ) mainly focuses on proton transport in material for fuel cell application. We investigate the development of new inorganic particles functionalized with proton conducting groups. [more...] |
Hybrid Interfaces
 |
Reactions on metal-oxide surfacesWithin the DFG Priority Program 1155 - Molecular Modeling and Simulation in Process Engineering, we investigate the adhesion of of molecules of different adhesive components from the EP system on native Al2O3 Surfaces. [more...] |
 |
Hybrid organic-semiconductor interfacesWe investigate the properties of hybrid semiconductor-biological systems, which are promising building blocks for bioelectronics devices. |
Software development
 |
DFTB+We develop together with external contributors the DFTB+ code, an implementation of the Density Functional based Tight Binding Method (DFTB) with a lot of useful extensions. The code is freely available for non-commercial purposes. [more...] |
