Acroporous: Advanced Ceramics & Porous Materials for sustainability
Project Manager
Electrocatalysis is anessential mechanism for hydrogen generation. For efficiency and durability, ceramics are being proposed as promising materials to facilitate the respective reactions. However, the manufacturing of those ceramic membranes still entails many challenges, including controlling the macro-shape and micro-structure during the processing. This project addresses new additive manufacturing and sintering technologies for the production of ceramic catalytic membranes, addressing the key questions on the controlling mechanisms across different relevant scales in respect to the needs for hydrogen generation. It will address both experimental and computational modelling, focusing on mechanical behavior alongside flow dynamics, within the material during processing and application.
The project is supported by UFe and TKI.
