Electrodes - Electrodes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells

LONG-TERM STABLE ELECTRODES FOR POLYMER ELECTROLYTE FUEL CELLS

Electric mobility is playing an increasingly important role in the automotive industry. Either a battery or a fuel cell can be used as a drive. The latter have ranges and fuelling times which are comparable with those of conventional drives. Although polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells must be run on pure hydrogen as far as possible, they are nonetheless more economical in terms of space and less expensive than batteries.  more about this project

ProMet – Product-related metallurgy

PRODUCT-RELATED METALLURGY

Nuremberg Tech gears its research towards future topics, focal issues concerning the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region, and social challenges. In the last few years, a number of competence centers have been founded at Nuremberg Tech for this purpose, including the Competence Center for Analytics, Nano- and Materials Technology (KAM).  more about this project

HerzoBase - Homes as Energy Storage

HOMES AS ENERGY STORES – CONCEIVING THE ENERGY-FLEXIBLE BUILDINGS OF TOMORROW

The latest developments and the global debates currently taking place as to the effects of climate change show that protecting our climate across the world as a whole, but especially on a local level, is becoming increasingly important. One topic that is moving center stage relates to the requirements imposed on modern buildings in terms of energy efficiency, CO2 emissions, and quality of use.  more about this project

ZIM-Sorptio - Removing moisture from tile blanks

DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW ENERGY-EFFICIENT PROCESS TO REMOVE MOISTURE FROM PRESS-MOIST BRICK BLANKS

Bricks are the oldest materials in the world, but even they are constantly developing. Along with roof tiles, porcelain, technical ceramics or floor tiles, bricks are also a ceramic product. The production method for bricks is similar and is made up of various process steps, namely the extraction of raw materials and the preparation, shaping, drying, and firing of the finished products.  more about this project

NanoFIM - Highly thermally insulating nanofibre insulation materials

HIGHLY THERMALLY INSULATING NANOFIBRE INSULATION MATERIALS FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDINGS

To improve the insulating effect of construction and insulation materials for new buildings and for the renovation of old buildings, the research project NanoFIM is developing a new class of nanofibre insulation materials. Using the new fibres for thermal insulation of buildings results in a huge saving of primary energy for heating, while at the same time unnecessary CO2 emissions are prevented.  more about this project
