The institute IWV-1 deals with the development of materials, structural elements and components for innovative systems of energy conversion, particularly in the area  solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and  thermal barrier coatings for advanced power stations. In this connection, powder synthesis and production of ceramic and metallic materials, as well as mixed materials for bulk and layered elements, is carried through.

Further topics being working on are those which are either closely related to the above main points - like the high-temperature stable  composites C/SiC as a possible alternative material for new generations of gas turbines - or those based on the central area of powder technology and coating process, like the manufacturing of powder-metallic elements consisting of  NiTi shape memory alloys or the development of  metals with improved functional porosity.
