Internationalization
Judith Golda Shines at AVS 69th International Symposium
Judith Golda, representing CRC 1316, captivated audiences at the AVS 69th International Symposium in Portland, Oregon, from November 5-10, 2023. Her invited talk, "Fundamentals of atmospheric pressure discharges for plasma catalytic applications," highlighted the critical role of atmospheric pressure discharges in plasma catalysis. Her presentation presented theory and application, emphasizing the transformative potential of understanding these discharges for catalytic processes in industries, environmental remediation, and energy production.
Project Area Meetings
CRC 1316 Project Area A (November 9) and Project Area B (November 10)
The CRC 1316 (Collaborative Research Center) brought together members from Project Area A on November 9 and Project Area B on November 10 for two consecutive days of intensive discussions, presentations, and collaborations. The primary objective of the meeting was to review recent project developments, share results, and facilitate further cooperation among team members.
The meeting commenced with a welcome address, setting the stage for a day of fruitful discussions. Each sub-project presented its recent findings, outlining progress, challenges faced, and proposed strategies for overcoming obstacles. The presentations sparked engaging discussions, providing valuable insights and suggestions from fellow researchers.
Crash Course
Heterogeneous Catalysis and Plasma Catalysis
On 8.11.2023, Leon Leffers (Univ. Twente) provided a crash course on heterogeneous catalysis and the prospect and principles of plasma catalysis. ECRs and PIs from the various disciplines of the CRC attended this crash course and discussed the details of connecting plasma phenomena to catalytic surface processes.

Catalysis at surfaces
In the new textbook "Catalysis at Surfaces", CRC 1316 project leader and vice-spokesperson Martin Muhler, together with colleagues W.Grünert and W.Kleist, have contributed to view surface catalysis as a truly interdisciplinary field that includes chemistry, physics, and engineering. The synthesis, the modification of porous solids as well as the bulk- and surface-sensitive characterization techniques are shown. Insight is provided into the most important aspects of surface catalysis, thermal catalysis, and photo- and electrocatalysis as future fields of the energy transition.
This textbook is recommended for Master's and Ph.D. students to get deeper into all relevant aspects of catalyst synthesis, characterization, and application in suitable reactors.
