Our research focuses on the relationship between structures and properties of different materials. The aim is to optimize the areas of application using analytical methods such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray spectroscopy, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, gas adsorption and liquid chromatography. We focus on mechanochemical synthesis as a green alternative, the automation of synthesis and characterization, research into alternative raw material sources and fields of application in energy storage and transfer. In-situ investigations of crystallization processes are carried out using advanced synchrotron methods.
