Bluemel Research Group
Researcher ID Profile
Research Topic(s)
Catalysis and reaction engineering for energy applications; Multifunctional materials for energy applications; Separation technologies for energy applications (e.g., CO2 capture, utilization, storage); Materials for separations in energy applications
Research Summary
Research interests of the Bluemel group span a wide range, from organic and organometallic synthesis, through catalysis and the surface chemistry of amorphous materials, to polymer chemistry. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy serves as a powerful method to investigate the structure and dynamics of all new materials. Over the years, the research has expanded especially in the following areas: (a) investigating immobilized homogeneous catalysts, e.g. Ni-, Rh-, Pd-, and Cu complexes, bound covalently to oxide supports; (b) studying surface-adsorbed metal complexes and their dynamic characteristics; and (c) researching the decomposition of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) polymers under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.
