Catalysis at Liquid Interfaces

Catalysis at Liquid Interfaces at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) consists of four strongly interlinked research areas. All approaches centre on solid-supported liquids of ultralow vapour pressure to enable stable catalytic performance in continuous gas-phase reactions.

CLINT is made possible by a large group of experienced researchers aiming to investigate the topic at hand at various different levels from several different angles.

Programme Structure

Research areas include:

• Supported Catalytically Active Liquid Metal Solutions
• Interface-enhanced SILP (Supported Ionic Liquid Phase)
• Advanced SCILL (Solid Catalysts with Ionic Liquid Layer)
• Modelling and Simulation
