Peter Strasser (chemist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Strasser (* in Heilbronn ) is a German chemist and professor of technical chemistry at the TU Berlin .

Life

Strasser studied chemistry at the University of Tübingen , Stanford University (John Ross) and at the University of Pisa (Fausto Calderazzo) and received his doctorate in 1999 from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin under Gerhard Ertl . In 2004 he was a chemist at Symyx Technologies in Santa Clara, California before becoming Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Houston in 2004. Since 2007 he has been a professor at the TU Berlin and heads the chair for technical electrochemistry, nanomaterials and electrocatalysis.

The focus of his working group is on the investigation of atomic / molecular relationships of the structure, composition and surface catalytic reactivity of catalysts for gas-phase catalytic and electrocatalytic processes. In doing so, material-chemical issues are researched that form the basis for electrochemical energy storage and conversion processes. These are used, for example, in regenerative energy system components such as fuel cells, batteries, water electrolysers or solar photoelectrochemical reactors to convert CO 2 into fuels and chemicals.
