DFG supports new projects in molecular solar energy storage
Efficient storage of solar energy is the key challenge in our transition to a renewable energy system. Besides the conventional solutions, such as solar cells and batteries, innovative chemical concepts for energy storage may open new fields of application. For example, intramolecular reactions hold the potential to fuse solar energy conversion and storage in a […]

DFG supports research on novel nanolithography method
The controlled fabrication of structures with nanoscale functionality is one of the most intensely studied topics in modern nanoscience. The crucial issue is to prepare structures with defined chemical composition as well as stable, but nanoscale morphology. A novel approach is the controlled additive fabrication of metallic nanostructures with focused soft X-rays (focused X-ray beam […]

Double Strike for the Alkaline Earth Metal Hydrides
Apart from MgH2, which is widely investigated for its hydrogen storage properties, alkaline earth metal hydrides are generally of no interest. The salt CaH2 reacts vigorously with water but is in contrast to other metal hydrides like LiAlH4 fully inert towards most organics. This is primarily due to its complete insolubility on account of extremely […]

The Rolling-Up of Oligophenylenes to Nanographenes by a HF-Zipping Approach
The fascinating properties of graphene have resulted in exploding interest in the synthesis of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or nanographenes, which represent fragments of the graphene surface. Dr. Konstantin Amsharov and PhD student Anni-Kristin Steiner (Institute of Organic Chemistry, FAU) have discovered an alternative method for the synthesis of such carbon-based nanostructures. Authors have found […]The fascinating properties of graphene have resulted in exploding interest in the synthesis of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or nanographenes, which represent fragments of the graphene surface.
