Micromeritics and Fraunhofer ICT announce advanced electrochemistry collaboration
노크로스, 조지아주. 미국 - 2025년 2월 24일
Micromeritics Instrument Corporation, a Malvern Panalytical company, and Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT are pleased to announce a technical collaboration aimed at fostering the education and training of future scientists and engineers. This partnership is set to accelerate the development of novel materials critical for Cleantech applications, including thermochemical heat storage systems, electrolysis, fuel cells, and batteries.
이 협력의 일환으로 카를스루에 인근 핀츠탈의 첨단 전기화학 연구소에 고성능 흡착 분석기인 Micromeritics 3Flex가 설치될 예정입니다. 이 최첨단 연구 장비는 물리 흡착, 화학 흡착, 동적 화학 흡착, 펄스 화학 흡착을 수행할 수 있어 클린테크 가치 사슬 전반에 걸쳐 촉매 및 입자 재료 개발을 위한 중요한 데이터를 제공합니다.
Micromeritics 독일 및 전 세계의 과학자와 엔지니어에게 회사의 첨단 특성 분석 장비를 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는 전문 지식을 갖춘 교육 프로그램을 제공하여 교육에 전념하고 있습니다. 연구자들이 새로운 방법과 응용 분야를 탐구하여 궁극적으로 클린테크 산업에서 혁신과 발전을 주도할 수 있도록 지원하는 것이 Micromeritics목표입니다.
Julia Melke, Ph.D., Fraunhofer ICT’s Group Leader for Electrolysis and Electrosynthesis, said: “Sorption studies are essential for the development of electrocatalysts as they require a deep understanding of the interaction between structure, electrochemical activity and stability.”
Christian Teicht, Ph.D., Fraunhofer ICT´s Scientist for Sorption technologies, added: “The new instrument will enable us to investigate sorbents for thermochemical heat storage systems with high accuracy. These measurements will be a starting point for the development of new sorption-based thermochemical heat storage systems. Personally, I will also use this instrument to continue my work on the modified potential theory of adsorption, which I started as one of the topics of my PhD thesis.”
Jeff Hrivnak, Ph.D., Director of Market Development at Malvern Panalytical, said: “The Fraunhofer ICT Advanced Electrochemistry Lab is pioneering the development of advanced materials for electrolysis, fuel cells, and batteries, driving exciting innovations. We are delighted to enhance their innovative efforts with our advanced high-performance systems and look forward to a partnership that educates future scientists and engineers in the field of electrochemistry.”
