Martin Winter (chemist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Winter (born August 7, 1965 in Osnabrück ) is a German chemist ( electrochemistry ) and materials scientist. His research aims to develop new materials, components and cell designs for lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries and alternative electrochemical energy storage systems.

Research and work

After completing his chemistry studies in 1992 and receiving his doctorate (1995) with Jürgen O. Besenhard at the Westphalian Wilhelms University (WWU) in Münster, Martin Winter was a postdoctoral fellow with Petr Novák at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. As part of his habilitation (1999), he moved to Graz University of Technology in Austria, where he then worked until 2007 as a university professor for "Applied Inorganic Chemistry and Electrochemistry" and as head of the Institute for Chemical Technology of Inorganic Substances. In 2008 he came to the Institute for Physical Chemistry as a professor for "Applied Materials Science for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Energy Conversion" and thus back to the University of Münster. The professorship emerged from an endowed professorship that was sponsored by the companies Volkswagen AG , Evonik Industries AG and Chemetall (now Albemarle ) from 2008 to 2012. From 2008 to 2016 he held the professorship for "Applied Materials Science for Electrochemical Energy Storage and Energy Conversion" and since 2016 for "Materials Science, Energy and Electrochemistry".

In addition to his work at the Institute for Physical Chemistry at the University of Münster, Martin Winter is the founder (2009) and scientific director of the MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster. MEET stands for "Münster Electrochemical Energy Technology". Since 2015 he has also been the founding director of the Helmholtz Institute Münster (HI MS) for ion conductors in energy storage, an institute of the Institute for Energy and Climate Research (IEK) at Forschungszentrum Jülich .

Martin Winter brings his experience in battery research to various functions. As head of the scientific advisory board for battery research of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) , former spokesman for the innovation alliance LIB2015, spokesman for the battery initiative battery 2020 of the BMBF , head of the battery competence center (ElektroMobility NRW) and member of the expert council of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, he is at national and active internationally as a representative of German battery research. He is President of the International Meeting on Lithium Batteries (IMLB), Chairman of the International Battery Materials Association (IBA), Fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) and the Electrochemical Society (ECS), of which he is also a board member in their Battery Division .

He published over 600 scientific articles and book chapters and around 70 patents and patent applications (as of 2019).

Prizes and awards

Martin Winter received more than 50 scientific awards, including the Carl Wagner Memorial Award from the ECS, the "Research" and "Technology" awards from the scientific societies ECS and the "International Battery Materials Association (IBA)" and the Braunschweig Research Prize . In 2017 he was elected to the German Academy of Science and Engineering . In 2018 he received the Federal Cross of Merit, 1st class. He is also an honorary professor at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taipei, Taiwan) and National Cheng Kung University (Tainan, Taiwan). He was honored with the 2019 Research Prize at the University of Münster. For 2019, Winter was awarded the Arfvedson Schlenk Prize of the Society of German Chemists and the Faraday Medal of the Royal Society of Chemistry .
