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 in 1900 as the Electrochemical Laboratory by Fritz Foerster (1866-1931) at the former Dresden University of Technology. In 2005, the Institute in the Erich Müller Building (currently closed) was dissolved into independent Chairs. These are the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry, the Chair of Physical Chemistry and the Chair of Electrochemistry.
