Chemist Dr Julia-Maria Hübner receives Add-on Fellowship from the Joachim Herz Foundation

Dr Julia-Maria Hübner has been awarded the Add-on Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Science and Transfer from the Joachim Herz Foundation for her research into the ionometallurgical recycling of lithium-ion batteries. The scientist from Prof. Michael Ruck's research group at the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry II is thus being honoured for an innovative and interdisciplinary research project with high social relevance and great transfer potential in the field of ‘Resources of the Future’.

In her work, Dr Hübner is developing new approaches to recover valuable metals from used batteries in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way. In doing so, she is making an important contribution to the sustainable use of finite raw materials.

The fellowship comes with a personal grant of 15,000 euros. In addition, Dr Hübner will become part of a nationwide network of young scientists who are committed to sustainable and future-oriented research.

With the Add-on Fellowships for Interdisciplinary Science and Transfer, the Joachim Herz Foundation supports up to 80 scientists from the fields of engineering, economics and life sciences who are working on innovative projects and wish to further develop their transfer potential.
