Electronics and Energy Industry
Cutting-edge analytical methods for innovative energy solutions
From next-generation semiconductors to breakthrough energy materials – progress depends on deep material understanding and precise modification.
Hi-Acts provides access to accelerator-based analysis and processing methods that deliver reliable data, shorter development cycles, and entirely new solution paths.
Together with research, we help shape the technologies that will power tomorrow’s electronics and energy systems.
Overview
1. Hydrogen Production
Catalysis: Investigation of the atomic and electronic structure in catalysts to improve efficiency in water electrolysis and fuel cells.
Real-time analyses: In-situ and operando analyses of fuel cells and electrolyzers under real operating conditions to optimise system performance.
2. Storage Technologies
Innovative Storage Technologies: Research on new materials such as metal hydrides and nanoporous structures to improve hydrogen storage and utilisation.
Defect Detection in Materials: Analysis of defects, dislocations and lattice defects that influence hydrogen storage and permeability.
3. Materials and Surfaces for the Hydrogen Industry
Hydrogen Embrittlement and Material Degradation: Analysing the effects of hydrogen on the mechanical integrity of materials, in particular through brittleness and corrosion in high-pressure tanks and pipelines.
Safety research and Leakage Prevention: Development of new materials and technologies to minimize hydrogen leaks and explosions.
