• Sustainable synthesis method for N-Hydroxy modifications for pharmaceutical research
  A new highly selective and scalable electro-organic synthesis of novel benzo[e]-1,2,4-thiadiazine-1,1-dioxides which represent an important structural motif of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredien...

• Electrocatalytic Emulsions for the Electrification of the Chemical Sector
  The increasingly intensive and efficient use of renewable electricity is defined as a key enabler of the current energy transition toward a climate neutral energy-chemistry nexus. This electrificat...

• New electrode materials for the oxidation of water
  By splitting water electrochemically, green hydrogen can be produced, which can be used as fuel, energy storage and for chemical reactions. This way, we can decrease our dependence on fossil resour...

• New results on how nature performs biological water splitting
  The splitting of two water molecules into oxygen using sunlight is the first step of photosynthesis, a process performed by plants and cyanobacteria. The overall reaction operates much the same way...

• Cheap and environmentally friendly chemical conversion of CO₂
  Prof. Walter Leitner, director of the Molecular Catalysis Department at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) and his team developed a new manganese catalyst capable of ...

• Hydrogen Production - New results in catalysis research
  The interaction of protein shell and active centre in hydrogen-producing enzymes is crucial for the efficiency of biocatalysts. A team from Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Max Planck Institute for ...

• Researchers determined the structure of the catalytic active state of [NiFe] hydrogenase
  Hydrogen is known as an ultimate clean energy source and is thus discussed as a future sustainable energy carrier. In nature the enzyme 'Hydrogenase' catalyzes the reversible conversion of molecula...
• Hydrogens detected by subatomic resolution protein crystallography
  X-ray crystallography is still the method of choice to determine the atomic structure of large biological macromolecules. One of the major drawbacks of the method is that hydrogens are difficult to...
