Oxide interface electronics and mesoscopic energy materials

About

The research group "Oxide interface electronics and mesoscopic energy materials" focuses on defect formation processes and defect characterization in nanoscaled oxides such as thin films, heterostructures, and superlattices. It is our major goal to understand and exploit ionic materials and respectie defect structures for the nanoscale control of electronic, magnetic, electrocatalytic, and mass transport properties.

The group is also linked to the University of Twente.

Research Topics

  • Defect chemistry in advanced hybrid materials, such as free-standing oxide membranes and graphene-integrated oxides
  • Ion-triggered phase transitions and coupling of structural, electronic and magnetic phase transitions
  • Defect-driven mesoscopic phenomena in energy materials, such as metal exsolution and water splitting catalysts
  • Structure-property relationships in perovskite-based water splitting catalysts
  • In-situ and operando spectroscopy methodologies
