From 2013 to 2018, Roland Marschall was Emmy Noether junior research group leader at the Institute of Physical Chemistry (associated to the research group of Prof. Smarsly).
Modern chemical synthesis techniques provided the platform to prepare new nanostructured materials with tailored properties, optimized surface area and light absorption, and tuned particle size and shape. The Marschall group investigated the catalytic properties of their new materials in photocatalytic and photoelectrochemcial reactions, including wastewater treatment, hydrogen generation and water splitting, or used them as building blocks to prepare composite materials. Moreover, they prepared mesoporous solid proton conductors, and utilized them for proton conducting membranes and catalysis.
