Scientific field: Chemistry

Chemistry at BESSY II comprises all processes and materials with which energy can be stored electrochemically, i.e. in batteries, or by converting it into molecules. It is precisely this conversion of solar energy into molecules that everyone is currently talking about under the buzzwords green hydrogen and solar fuels, and includes intensive research into new, more efficient catalysts. Chemical reactions and in-situ and operando measurements - predominantly in liquids - are major parts of this research.
