In vitro Bioaccumulation
The main aim of our proposed project is to understand and predict the interactions of organic ions, and ion pairs in particular, with biological systems and their consequences in terms of bioaccumulation.
Hydrogen storage and transportation
Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) systems offer a very attractive way to store and transport hydrogen that links unsteady energy production from renewable sources with the vision of a sustainable, CO2-free, energy system. read more
Environmental behaviour of pharmaceuticals
The presence of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in the environment has been a growing concern in recent years. Around 2300 different API are being administered, and it is estimated that more than 8 000 t of drugs are being consumed - annually alone in Germany. read more
Environmental behaviour of Ionic Liquids
Ionic Liquids (ILs) are salts with melting points below 100 °C that are formed solely by cations and anions, one or both of which are weakly coordinating ions. read more
