FuncHy Tasks
The research of the Helmholtz initiative FuncHy concentrates on the development of hydrogen storage materials for mobile applications. The work focuses on non-conventional storage materials considering most recent nanotechnological research results on preparation and characterization of the materials and the optimization of hydrogen sorption kinetics. For achieving the targets of FuncHy, seven Research Tasks were defined:
- Alanates (Dr. Maximilian Fichtner, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH)
- Borohydrides (Prof. Andreas Züttel, Empa, Dübendorf, Switzerland)
- Amides (Dr. Wiebke Lohstroh, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH)
- Reactive Hydride Composites (Dr. Martin Dornheim, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Geesthacht GmbH)
- Thermodynamic and Kinetic Characterisation (Dr. Oliver Gutfleisch, Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden)
- Combinatorial Search for Hydrogen Storage Materials (Dr. Bernard Dam, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
- System Integration of selected Hydrogen Storage Materials (Dr. José Bellosta von Colbe, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht Geesthacht GmbH)
In brackets the Task leaders are given. For more detailed information on the involved people/institutions, we refer to the corresponding institutions.
