»MiEl offers us the opportunity to build a network of next-generation researchers and engineers to meet the challenges of the 21st century chemical and pharmaceutical industry. By combining the fields of electrosynthesis, microprocess engineering and flow chemistry, our research will promote Europe’s international competitiveness in line with the principles of green chemistry.«
The Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT is one of approx. 75 Fraunhofer institutes in Germany. Its departments for Applied Electrochemistry and Energetic Materials cover research on electrosynthesis, flow chemistry and microfluidics.
Fraunhofer ICT is active in several projects on new electrochemical methods for synthetic chemistry, such as the EU project ELOBIO (https://elobio.cnrs.fr). Our facilities include specialised labs for microfluidics, operando spectroscopy, work benches for electrosynthesis and a cell workshop for upscaling electrochemical cells. The scientists in the group have many contacts to renowned colleagues and institutions in the international scientific community.
Main tasks / responsibilities in MiEl
Fraunhofer ICT coordinates the MiEl Doctoral Network and is active in the fields of electro-organic synthesis of reactive intermediates and reaction process screening and monitoring.
