In our CRC, she supports several projects with electron microscopy to visualize and characterize their materials and structures at the micro- and nanoscale. The characterization methods include for example focused ion beam milling, scanning electron microscopy, environmental scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, element analytics such as EDX, WDX and electron diffraction as well as electron tomography.
This variety of electron microscopy methods helps to understand and optimize materials for SMART reactors by gaining deeper insights into their structure-property relationships. By combining electron microscopy techniques with collaborative research, we aim to uncover the invisible details of components that have a major impact in SMART reactors.
