The Chair of Physical Chemistry
The research group of Prof. Eychmüller is focused on the synthesis of semiconductor and of nobel metal nanoparticles, on photo-electrochemistry, on self-assembly (aerogels and mesocrystals) and on applications, particularly LEDs, thermoelectricity and full cells.

Physical Chemistry
The Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry was founded as Electrochemical Laboratory in 1900 by Fritz Foerster (1866-1931) at the former Technical University of Dresden. In 2005 the institute in Erich-Müller-Bau was disbanded in independent chairs of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry.
