Inorganic chemistry with a focus on materials and energy

AG Lepple is working on the development and investigation of innovative high-performance ceramics for efficient energy conversion and storage.

Central focuses:

New ceramics for high-temperature applications that are stable over long periods in aggressive atmospheres
New ceramics for energy storage (electrode materials, ion conductors)
New ceramics for sustainable energy generation and catalysis

Further information on the research topics of the working group can be found here.

Announcements

Forschungsforum	21.11.2024
	As part of the Forschungsforum, we will present our research in our department on four different posters. Together with the other working groups, there will be a poster session where students can get to know us and talk about possible research modules in our working group. We are looking forward to meeting new people!

New publication

Special Issue: Materials Compounds from Composite Materials for Applications in Extreme Conditions

We are pleased to announce the publication of a special issue with 14 manuscripts that have been produced within the DFG funded research training group (RTG) 2561 MatCom-ComMat. This RTG combines the expertise of the Dechema Research Institute Frankfurt, the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
The focus is on novel multiphase composite systems that can withstand temperatures above 1300 °C and innovative approaches to maximize the lifetime of materials in extreme environments.
