Matthias Grünbacher has made significant contributions to various fields of materials science, focusing on the development and application of ceramic catalysts for energy-related processes. Recent research includes the design and catalytic application of silicon oxycarbonitride ceramics containing nickel nanoparticles, as well as the promotion of perovskite catalysts using noble metals for nitrogen reduction reactions. Additionally, Grünbacher has explored the effects of hydrogen pre-reduction on ceria materials, examined the structural stability of crystalline ceria phases under reducing conditions, and investigated the interaction between nickel and perovskite catalysts in methane steam reforming and methanation reactions. These studies have important implications for the development of efficient and sustainable catalysts for the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and the production of syngas from methane.
