Elisabeth Frömsdorf from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg is joining our group for her master thesis. She will focus on the discrepancies between aqueous model systems (AMS) and membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) with iridium based catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). To do so, she will investigate the pH dependence of stability and activity of iridium oxide catalysts using a scanning flow cell (SFC) coupled with an on-line inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS).
Elisabeth Frömsdorf joined us as a new master student in our OER sub-team!
