Leibniz Institut für Katalyse e. V. (Printversion): Catalyst Discovery and Reaction Engineering

Catalyst Discovery and Reaction Engineering

Dr. David Linke

Currently the department comprises of 3 research groups which focus on the following topics:

• High-Throughput Technologies (Dr. Uwe Rodemerck)
  • High-throughput catalyst development for various reactions
  • Robot-assisted automated material syntheses
  • Development of highthroughput tools
  • Optimisation strategies for catalyst development
• Reaction Engineering (Dr. David Linke)
  • Kinetics of catalytic reactions
  • Reactor- and process design
  • Modelling und optimisation
  • Information management
• Reaction Mechanisms (Dr. habil. Evgenii Kondratenko)
  • Transient mechanistic studies with isotopic traces
  • Micro kinetic analysis with the aim to predict catalytic performance under transient and steady-state conditions in a broad range of reaction parameters
  • Transient and steady-state reactor operation
  • Electronic properties in heterogeneous catalysis
