The focus of our research is the tailoring of the inorganic-organic interface in hybrid materials and nanocomposites with special interest in a controlled design of inorganic building blocks such as nanoparticles. The large interface area in these materials requires a specific knowledge in tailoring the chemistry between inorganic and organic moieties. The controlled design of the interface allows the induction of new properties in the final material. Our research is highly interdisciplinary between the fields of inorganic, organic, and polymer chemistry and utilizes a broad spectrum of techniques like X-ray diffraction, common spectroscopic methods, thermo-analytical methods or mechanical tests.

Feb 10, 2023 | Mechanochemistry allows a fast and energy-efficient production of black metal oxides
Metal oxides are usually colourless solids. When we are able to reduce the metal ions successfully, so-called black metal ions will result. These often have extraordinary electronic and catalytic properties. In a study of Anna Michaely in co-operation with a team of other authors, they succeeded to produce black titanium oxide (TiO2) and black niobium oxide (Nb2O5) after just 10 min. by a simple chemical conversion in a ball mill. These black metal oxides showed the expected changes in their electronic properties and for the titanium dioxide, a significantly higher activity in its photocatalytic properties could be proven. The study was published in Chemistry – A European Journal (https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/chem.202300223)
