Best Paper Award at IWIS 20233. November 2023

At the end of September, Sebastian presented our study on the meaning of real axis offsets of electrochemical impedance spectra at the International Workshop on Impedance Spectroscopy (IWIS) and received one of the Best Paper Awards (3^rd). The corresponding article in the conference proceedings is now available online at IEEE Xplore.

Assessment of the Physicochemical Meaning of the Ohmic Series Resistance Observed for High Frequencies in Electrochemical Impedance Spectra by Sebastian Reinke, Vera Khamitsevich, Oliver Röth, and Julia Linnemann
GDCh WiFo in Leipzig4. September 2023

Julia is delighted to be invited to present our results in the field of electrocatalytic oxidation reactions and related analytical methods for characterising electrochemical capacitance properties at the session of the GDCh Division of Electrochemistry at the biennial meeting of the German Chemical Society.
CCCE3. September 2023

We have arrived in Leipzig and are looking forward to 'Rethinking Chemistry' at the biennial meeting of the German Chemical Society.
CCCE30. August 2023

Chris is currently at the Engineering Thermodynamics department of the TU Ilmenau to get trained on the assembly and usage of microfluidic fuel cells for his in-depth practical in our research team.
Introduction to EIS16. July 2023

Our educational video series on the basics of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is now available online.
RUB Science College 202314. June 2023

Julia shares her experience of what sustainability in research means by giving a talk and participating in a fish bowl discussion at the RUB Research School Science College.
CCCE23. May 2023

Varun was awarded a WISE scholarship of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to work with us on 3-dimensional current collectors for 10 weeks. He studies chemical engineering at NIT Warangal in India. We wish him much success with his project.
CCCE15. May 2023

We welcome our new in-depth-practical student Ajith.
CCCE19. April 2023

We congratulate Philip Krämer on the successful defense of his master's thesis and on his degree in Renewable Energy Technology at the TU Ilmenau. It was a great pleasure for Julia to support Philip as an external supervisor in his research on microfluidic fuel cells with Jörg König and Christian Cierpka from Engineering Thermodynamics.
CCCE30. March 2023

Julia gladly accepted the kind invitation and spoke about the use of electrochemical methods for material synthesis and characterization at the Interdisciplinary Symposium for Women in STEM fields (ISINA).
CCCE15. March 2023

Julia is at the Chemiedozententagung in Dresden to present our work on interf(/phases) in electrocatalysis and electrochemical energy storage and acknowledges the financial support of the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie.
CCCE2. March 2023

Nastia and Julia are at the annual meeting of CRC/TRR 247 in Willingen, discussing ideas for collaborative research projects where electrochemical impedance spectroscopy can contribute to a better understanding of interf(/ph)asial processes at oxide electrocatalysts, while hiking through the snowy landscape of the Sauerland.
CCCE6. February 2023

This week, we have Maike with us. She is assisting us for her ninth-grade school internship to get early insights into university life and electrochemical research.
CCCE31. January 2023

Philip from the TU Ilmenau is visiting this week to look closer into the chemistry aspects of his thesis project. After giving a talk, he will work in our labs with the microfluidic fuel cell setup developed at the Engineering Thermodynamics department (Prof. Christian Cierpka, Dr.-Ing. Jörg König). He is currently finishing his master’s degree in Renewable Energy Technology.
CCCE23. January 2023

Vera joins us for her in-depth practical. Have fun!
