Volker Presser presents our team’s work on Lithium-ion harvesting from aqueous media, including mine water, at a symposium organized by the Saarlandian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) on circularity and battery recycling.
Our work on lithium-ion recovery from aqueous media (including seawater) was featured by the local radio station SR3.

It is a privilege to receive, after 2018 and 2021, the recognition as 2022 Highly Cited Researcher (HRC) by Clarivate. Only 6,938 out of abut 8M researchers have received this recognition. Citation numbers are not the most important parameter in science, but I am grateful to our team and collaborators that the community so well receives our works. I am also honored to be the only 2022 HRC of Saarland University and only 1 of 2 if counting the University Hospital, too.
New paper published in Carbon. This is our latest work from our collaboration with our Austrian partners now being published in the January issue of Carbon. Combining the expertise in catalysis of the Eder group (TU Vienna) with the innovative carbon spherogel material developed by Michael Elsaesser from the Hüsing Group (Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg) makes up for an interesting system. Spherogels are hollow carbon spheres which, as shown by this work, can be conveniently loaded with electrocatalytically active species, such as titania. In our case, we studied the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.
