Aktuelle Nachrichten der AG Oschatz

Maximilian van der Voort joins the BMBF-funded project WaNaWa (Wasserstoffspeicherung in Nanowasser) as a PhD student. Together with the Borchardt group (RUB), the von Domaros group (FSU) and the IKTS, he will study H2-clathrates in water. Welcome to the team Max!

Why did my manuscript not make the cut? If you ever have had such a question, the "Opening the Editor's Black Box" Workshop on Jan 27th in the lecture hall of IAAC with presentations of Rosalba A. Rincón and Sandra González Gallardo, both Wiley-VCH editors, is a perfect fit for you. 

Aura joined our group this month as a PhD student. She will be working within the LignUp project funded by the Carl-Zeiss Stiftung and focus on water purification using Lignin from Thuringia. Welcome to the team!

Recently, Kirti started as the new PostDoc in the ERC Starting Grant-funded project CilCat. Kirti is an electrochemistry expert and we are very happy to welcome you here in Jena.

Thuringia is well-known for their forests. At the Long Night of Sciences, our institute will show you, how wood components from our state can be used to develop new batteries. Visit us on Friday in the laboratories of the CEEC 2, Humboldtstrasse 12 from 6 - 11 pm and you will experience how a tree can store electric energy in the end.

The major aim of CoLi-SCo is to support the practical implementation of Li-S batteries. It combines partners from Germany, Poland and Spain, covering a range of different expertise, from fundamental research to industrial materials production. More information about the project on our "third-party funding" website.

We are very happy to welcome Tilmann Neubert as our new Postdoc in the AG Oschatz. Tilmann has a strong background in polymeric materials synthesis, analytics and their application. Here in Jena, he will work on Li-S batteries. We wish you a good start.

Akshay joins our group as a PhD student. Akshay will work on our BMBF-funded project on hydrogen storage in water clusters confined into carbon-nitrogen materials. Welcome to our group and in Jena!

Simone visits our group for the next 4 months. He will work together with Zehui on carbon materials for application in the so-called CO2Caps, a novel way to harvest energy from CO2 emissions that is currently being developed in Andrea Lambertis group at the Politecnico di Torino.

This week we welcomed our newest asset,an Autosorb 6200 for chemisorption and physisorption analysis. Understanding the interaction of gases with our nanomaterials is crucial for the further development of novel metal-gas battery systems. Thanks to the Nexus Programme by the Carl-Zeiss Foundation.

As our photocatalysis expert, Lingli attended the CataLysis Networking Conference 2024 with other colleagues from the CRC/TRR 234 CataLight. She presented her work on H2O2 production via photocatalytic approaches using Poly(heptazine imides).

Our group presented the recent work on carbon materials for selective CO2 capture and utilization at the AKK in Erlangen this week. Kai, Sofiia and Yongchao presented their posters, Martin Oschatz gave a talk summarizing the ongoing projects within HIPOLE and the DeKarbon project. Thanks to the organizers for a great time.
