About
The Rademann Group at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's Institute of Chemistry, led by Prof. Dr. Klaus Rademann, is a research group specializing in physical chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology. The group explores the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel materials, such as nanostructured materials for catalysis, thermoelectrics, and environmental applications. Notable research topics include functionalized cellulose for water purification and antimicrobial applications, mechanochemical synthesis of advanced materials, and the study of gold and silver nanoparticles. The group is active in both fundamental research and applied projects, with a strong focus on sustainability and international collaboration.
