The new funding period will focus on strengthening the integration of plasma research with catalytic, electrochemical, and biocatalytic processes, as well as on developing initial prototypes capable of converting renewable energy into chemical energy carriers. In addition, modeling efforts will be expanded to support the transfer of plasma technologies from the laboratory to practical applications.
“We are very pleased about the renewed support for plasma research in Bochum, which has been conducted here at an international level for many decades,” says Prof. Dr. Martin Paul, Rector of Ruhr University Bochum, in the official press release of the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy.
In addition to Ruhr University Bochum, researchers from the University of Ulm and the Fritz Haber Institute are involved. The Collaborative Research Center brings together expertise from various disciplines, including plasma physics, surface science, chemistry, biotechnology, and engineering.
