Dr. Michail Papadakis joins the Kühnel Lab as a DAAD ERA Green Hydrogen Fellow from Université Aix Marseille in France. Michail obtained his PhD under the supervision of Dr. Maylis Orio studying thiosemicarbazone-based complexes as HER co-catalysts. In his postdoctoral work, he will devlop novel hybrid photocatalysts for hydrogen generation and CO2 reduction.

Welcome João
Dr. João Felipe Stival joins the Kühnel Lab as a DAAD ERA Green Hydrogen Fellow from Universidade Federal do Paraná in Brazil. João obtained his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Shirley Nakagaki in Curitiba on metal oxide-based photocatalysis. In his postdoctoral work, he will devlop novel hybrid photocatalysts for the photoreforming of waste.
Welcome Atekelte
Atekelte Kassa joins the Kühnel Lab from Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin. He holds a dual master’s in Materials Science and Energy Science & Engineering from TU Darmstadt and will embark on a PhD project in the field of intensified photocatalysis.
Welcome Fiona
Fiona Parth joins the Kühnel Lab from Leibniz Universität Hannover. She holds a master’s in Life Science and will embark on a PhD project in the field of semiartificial photosythesis.
Paper in Dalton Trans
Read Maite’s paper on MOF-based photocatalysts that was part of a bigger collaboration with the University of the Basque Country and Oulu University. In this paper, we investigate hydrogels based on disordered MOFs and study how different ways of platinum incorporation affect their performance for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (link to paper).
