Time for a time-out! Hiking with my wife. About 120 km to go till friday.

Successful #AdvancedDesignProject on #methanol #steamreforming with 71 participants from @tuda.bsky.social and partners at South Dakota Mines, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Provadis. Thanks to our industrial partner @evonik-de.bsky.social and all assistants for their great support.

New paper out on the aqueous phase amination of 1,6-hexanediol using Ru-Carbon catalysts: doi.org/10.1016/j.mc...

Our newest work on supported Fe #catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of acetylene is out in ChemCatChem from our @iron-upgraded.bsky.social, @tuda.bsky.social. Congratulations to Hannah Lamers' first paper! doi.org/10.1002/cctc...

Semester final: With students of my Master's lecture we visited @merckgroup.bsky.social to see pilot plants for organic synthesis & catalysis. We gained insights into the sustainability assessment of value chains. Many thanks to Benjamin Kühne and team for their hospitality and the great programme.

Chemical Engineering Christmas: See the perfect „Tears of Wine“ from the Marangoni Effect!

Just finished last lecture of the year. This one on olefin production, emerging technologies and their fundamental importance on sustainable value-added chains!

Congratulations to Sebastian Kaul who very successfully defended his PhD yesterday. His topic were highly dispersed catalysts from layered double hydroxide for ammonia cracking. More to come soon.

Check out our new article in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces on Hyper-Cross-Linked Polyphosphines as Nanoporous Macroligands for CO2 Hydrogenation Catalysts. Congrats to Arne Nisters, Steffen Schleuning and collaborators at @tuda.bsky.social TU Darmstadt pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Happy to share our work from now on also on this platform besides LinkedIn. Our new article on solid phosphine-based Ru catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation is online in Journal of Catalysis. Congrats to first author Arne Nisters! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
