个人简介

Professor Gasteiger (born 1964) received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from UC Berkeley in 1993, studying the electrocatalysis of methanol oxidation. After 9 years of academic research on electrocatalysis and heterogeneous gas-phase catalysis at UC Berkeley, the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and at Ulm University, he spent 10 years working in industry. From 1998 to 2007, Professor Gasteiger was leading the fuel cell stack materials development for GM/Opel’s H2powered fuel cell vehicles (Rochester, NY, USA). In 2007 he joined Acta S.p.A. (Italy) as Director of Catalyst Technology, developing catalysts and electrodes for alkaline (membrane) fuel cells and electrolyzers. In January 2009 he took an assignment as Visiting Professor at MIT, working on lithium-air batteries. At TUM he is working as Full Professor in Technical Electrochemistry in the areas of electrocatalysis and batteries. He published 72 papers (h-index 42; 8600 citations) in refereed journals as well as 13 book chapters, and has 29 patents/patent applications.

Physical and Theoretical Chemistry

The efficient utilization of renewable energy requires advanced concepts for energy storage and conversion as well as the introduction of new vehicle concepts (electromobility). This requires the development of efficient hydrogen generation (electrolysis), hydrogen conversion (fuel cells), and energy storage (batteries). For the large-scale implementation of these technologies, the noble-metal (e.g., Pt) requirement in fuel cells and electrolyzers must be reduced via novel catalysts and the specific energy of batteries must be increased. In addition, higher durability of catalysts and electrode/electrolyte interfaces must be achieved. Therefore, our group works on the synthesis of novel electrocatalysts and their incorporation into high-performance fuel cell, electrolyzer, and battery electrodes. We will apply spectroscopic and analytic methods to study the relevant catalytic process and to elucidate materials degradation processes. Our focus ranges from simple model systems to more complex high-surface area materials and electrode structures. We are working in close collaboration with faculty in engineering, where our fundamental learnings will aid the design of battery and fuel cell systems which can be incorporated into, for example, electrified vehicles.
