Research Areas

Other research topics in our group include: 

The development of alternative, passive phase separation systems for gas bubble detachment from electrode surfaces in microgravity (e.g., via electrocatalyst nanostructures or the utilization of magnetically-induced buoyancy).

The simulation of (photo-)electrochemical devices in microgravity using COMSOL Multiphysics, OpenFOAM and numerical methods, specifically focusing on simulating mass transfer in the electrolyte and gas bubble evolution.

The (photo-)electrodeposition of metals on (photo-)electrodes in microgravity and the investigation of the impact gravity has on the nucleation and growth of metal layers and the metal nanotopography.
