Owner of the chair

Prof. Dr. Inez Weidinger worked as a Professor in Physical Chemsitry at TU Berlin before she came to TU Dresden in 2016. The central aim of her research is to get a mechanistic understanding of electrochemical surface reactions at nanostructured solid interfaces. To get structural insight into the surface confined reaction dynamics a combination of in situ surface enhanced vibrational spectroscopy and electrochemistry is applied.

The research focuses on investigations of interface processes (e.g. immobilization of proteins on nanoscale titanium dioxide systems) and biomimetic catalysts (e.g. Hangman complexes) for various electrochemical reactions, preferably for the reduction of oxygen or carbon dioxide. Optical vibrational spectroscopy methods are used to understand the complex surface processes.

Coopera­tions

Cooperations are the key for successful scientific work. Therefore, we set great store by intensive communication to industriel partners and collaborations to other scientific institutes.

Spectroscopy and electrocatalys­is

The efficiency and selectivity of many sensors and fuel cells is based on electrocatalytic processes. A good catalyst not only decreases the activation energy for a reaction as much as possible but also promotes („catalyses“) very specifically a certain target reaction. In electrocatalysis the catalytic process takes place at the surface of a conductive support and is coupled to an electron transfer process. These catalysts, when incorporated as working electrode in an electrochemical cell, can directly transform electrical energy in chemical energy and vice versa.
