How are electrons “ticking”? And why is their behavior so important for efficient solar cells? Learn more about it in the research portrait of our new member Prof. Frank Ortmann.

Even for experienced catalysts, matchmaking is not always easy. Some partners bind too strong, others leave too early. A team of scientists including members of e-conversion observed how a copper electrode solves this problem by itself.

A payload module of perovskite and organic solar cells from the lab of e-conversion member Prof. Müller-Buschbaum proved successful on a rocket flight in space.

With this Bavarian expression for "welcome" we happily introduce two outstanding scientists as new members of our cluster: Prof. Alessio Gagliardi and Prof. Frank Ortmann.

One picture - three possible answers. Find the right one and win a high-performance solar power bank.

The Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry and the German Chemical Society honored e-conversion coordinator Prof. Thomas Bein with the joint Elhuyar-Goldschmidt Award.

In our series "e-conversion cosmos" we present key topics of energy research on the basis of current cluster publications and give an insight into the daily work of our members.

Learn more about the idea behind e-conversion and why the research of our members is of such importance for the future of energy supply.

One year ago David Egger became professor for “Theory of Functional Energy Materials” at TU München and member of e-conversion. We asked him about his research, his ideas for the cluster and why he loves being a scientist.

Platinum is the common catalyst material for the oxygen reduction in fuel cells and its main cost factor. With a machine learning technique, scientists from e-conversion now can forecast and optimize the performance of catalysts with less platinum.
