Currently under development at the University are biosensor systems that can be used at a macroscale (e.g. within multiwell plate technology), on the microscale (using existing chip based technology currently in development) or at the single-molecule level (where a nanoactuator is available).
Photocatalytic selective epoxidation of styrene by molecular oxygen over highly dispersed titanium dioxide species on silica
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) currently receives enormous attention because of its potential application in environmental treatment and fine chemical synthesis.
In the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering research is being conducted in the preparation of nanoparticles, especially titania for the clean-up and waste treatment.
The company has a strong focus on novel nanoparticles for photocatalytic water purification, and nanoporous silicon membrane molecular sieves for hydrogen purification for fuel cells.
