Mathies Evers, born in 1989, studied chemistry at the Ruhr University Bochum, where he researched the synthesis of atom-precise molecular clusters. After his master's degree he started his doctoral thesis at the Chair of Analytical Chemistry II of Professor Dr. Kristina Tschulik and is supported by the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV. In the course of his doctoral thesis he spent three months in the group of Professor Dr. Keith J. Stevenson at the Skolkovo Institute for Science and Technology in Moscow.

Focus

His research focuses on the holistic optimization of nanoparticle catalysts. From the cradle to electrocatalysis, there are many influential parameters that make up a highly active catalyst. Nanoparticle synthesis, immobilization, characterization and catalysis application are therefore being researched on an interdisciplinary basis with a focus on environmental aspects.

Methods

• Electrochemistry (nano-impact experiments, deposition, electrocatalysis)
• Dark-field microscopy in combination with electrochemistry
• Electron microscopy (SEM & TEM) and atomic force microscopy
• Synthesis of nanomaterials and ionic liquids in air and under inert gas
