About
Prof. Dr. Christian Papp leads the Working Group at the Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Freie Universität Berlin. His research focuses on surface science, heterogeneous catalysis, and 2D materials, utilizing synchrotron radiation and in situ XPS for molecular-level insights.
- Key Research Areas:
- Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs) for energy storage, studying hydrogenation/dehydrogenation mechanisms.
- 2D Materials (graphene, hexagonal boron nitride) synthesis and functionalization for electronics.
- Liquid Metal Alloys (e.g., Ga-Rh) for catalytic propane dehydrogenation.
- Techniques: High-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), DFT simulations, and surface characterization.
Recent work explores supraparticle catalysts, nanoporous networks, and gold-catalyzed energy release in solar thermal systems. Collaborations with Prof. Dr. H.-P. Steinrück and Dr. P. Wasserscheid highlight interdisciplinary efforts in catalysis and material synthesis.
