His Topic of Materials' Days 2010:
Functional perovskites for energy technologies
Abstract:
Perovskite-type phases show a particularly high potential for many energy and chemical conversion processes due to their
flexible structure and a variety of properties. Well known examples are electrode materials in fuel cells and batteries,
thermoelectric converters, piezoelectrics, photocatalysts, and exhaust gas catalysts.
The very attractive physical-chemical properties of perovskite-type titanate, niobate, molybdate, ferrate, manganate,
cobaltate and nickelate phases can be modified in a controlled way by changing the composition and structure in tailor-made
soft chemistry synthesis processes.
Advanced analytical tools are applied to unravel the structure-property relationships and provide rational material design for
thermoelectric and catalytic applications.
