CRC/TRR 247
Heterogeneous Oxidation Catalysis in the Liquid Phase

Research Area B: Analysis

In the first funding period, Area B contributed Mössbauer spectrometry and magnetometry, PL spectroscopy, DFT calculations, Raman and X-ray spectroscopy, (HR-)TEM and (NAP-)XPS, and new wavefunction methods for solids with unpaired electrons. The successful application of this variety of methods to the CRC’s materials basis is a prerequisite for the comprehensive characterization needed for the establishment of structure, composition and reactivity and enabled targeting the goals of the first funding period. Further important achievements of Area B, e.g., in the field of in situ and operando experimentation and modeling set the stage for the second funding period, which is summarized in the single project descriptions of Area B.
