Current research priorities of the Silicon Chemistry and Chemical Materials Science working group
- Aminosilanes and silazanes: preparation, derivatisation and use
- Higher coordinated chloro- and hydridochlorosilanes
- Chelate ligands for 5- and 6-coordinated Si compounds
- Reposition reactions of higher coordinated Si compounds
- Si/P compounds
Contact: PD Dr. Uwe Böhme, Dr Jörg Wagler, Dr Konstantin Kraushaar, Prof Dr Edwin Kroke
- Polymer-derived Si/C/N and Si/C/O ceramics, metal-ceramic nanocomposites
- Si nanoparticles: Chlorosilane reduction, stabilisation and surface modification
- Wet chemical etching of silicon (silicon recycling, surface structuring)
- (Poly)silylcarbodiimides, non-oxide gels and highly porous Si/C/N ceramics
- Phosphosilicates; 'printed electronics'
Contacts: Dr Marcus Schwarz, Dr André Stapf, Prof. Dr Edwin Kroke
- Molecular and polymeric heptazine derivatives and carbon nitrides
- C/N and C/N/P flame retardants
- CNx nanotubes for electrocatalytic applications
- Sol-gel chemistry (e.g. for coatings and porous materials)
- Si/Al/O/N systems
Contacts: Dr Marcus Schwarz, Dr Konstantin Kraushaar, Prof Dr Edwin Kroke
- Novel high-pressure phases and hard materials (SiAlON)
- (ultra)hard nanocomposites
