Research Training Group 2204 - Home

Modern technologies in the fields of energy supply and electronics rely on a variety of highly specialized functional materials. Nowadays many of these consist of chemical elements whose limited availability may prevent a mass production of the respective devices or systems. The RTG 2204 explores substitute materials based on abundant elements („elements of hope“) to prepare a breakthrough of cutting-edge technologies like high-efficiency photovoltaics, large-scale rechargeable batteries, thermoelectric generators and intelligent glazing.
Twelve research groups belonging to six institutes in the subjects chemistry, physics and materials science cooperate closely.
