Chair of Electrochemical Process Engineering
University of Bayreuth
Universitätsstraße 30
95447 Bayreuth, Germany
The Chair of Process Engineering of Materials at the University of Bayreuth focuses on materials and processing methods for electrochemical energy conversion and storage.
Research covers redox-flow batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis, and CO₂ reduction, with emphasis on porous electrodes and membranes produced by electrospinning and templating.
Activities range from nanostructuring and catalyst development to cell and stack performance evaluation, including novel electrospun hybrid electrodes for flow batteries.
Main tasks in SPACER
The University of Bayreuth develops functionalised fibre electrodes via electrospinning and core-shell design. Tasks include adapting electrospinning equipment, producing catalyst-decorated test electrodes, and analysing their morphology and performance. The goal is to improve interface design, catalyst stability, and efficiency in redox flow batteries.
