Latest News of the Oschatz group

Dr. Thiago Bertaglia has joined the Oschatz group as a postdoctoral researcher within the CoLi-SCo project. His work will focus on designing novel carbon materials for lithium-sulfur batteries. He joins us from Brazil, where he completed his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Frank Crespilho. Welcome to the team, Thiago!

Khan joins the CilCat team - Recently, Dr. Muhammad Abdulla Khan joined our team as a Postdoc on the ERC Starting grant project CilCat. He will be working on the adsorption and conversion of small molecules on carbon. Welcome to Jena!

We are happy to welcome Dr. Felix Nagler in our CoLi-SCo project team! Felix will be working in HIPOLE Jena together with Dr. Eneli Monerjan and in close collaboration with Dr. Tilmann Neubert from our group on the operando characterization of Li-S batteries and pouch cell design.

As our photocatalysis expert, Lingli attended the CataLysis Networking Conference 2024 with other colleagues from the CRC/TRR 234 CataLight. She presented her work on H2O2 production via photocatalytic approaches using Poly(heptazine imides).

Our group presented the recent work on carbon materials for selective CO2 capture and utilization at the AKK in Erlangen this week. Kai, Sofiia and Yongchao presented their posters, Martin Oschatz gave a talk summarizing the ongoing projects within HIPOLE and the DeKarbon project. Thanks to the organizers for a great time.

Members of our group joined the Electrochemistry 2024 in Braunschweig. We participated with 7 posters and 2 presentations. For more information, check out LinkedIn.

After the successfull defense of his masters, Franz Jacobi joins the team of Desiree as a PhD student. He will be working on new cathode and anode materials for the use in Al-N2 batteries within the project ReAlBatt. We are happy to have you in our team Franz and we wish you a great start.

It was a real pleasure to host Loïc Carrier over the last couple of months via the RISE programme of the DAAD Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst! Together with Lucas Nortmeyer he worked on the electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction. Loïc you did a great job!

Building on the success of LNOS 2022, the Institute of Technical and Environmental Chemistry will provide insights on how their research on energy storage and conversion can help to achieve a sustainable future. Stay tuned for presentations, discussions, and lab tours! We are looking forward to your visit!

Our master student Merline has been accepted to join the Honours program of FSU Jena. It allows for conducting an own research project under the supervision of experienced scientists (Johannes Schenk in our group) to prepare young talents for a future academic career. 

We welcome a new PhD student from China. Mengyu just started recently with a prestigious CSC grant and will work on carbon/redox polymer hybrids for battery applications. Have a good start!
