ERC Consolidator Grant

Wolfgang Zeier is Professor of Inorganic Solid State Chemistry at the University of Münster and heads the Solid Ion Conductor Design Department at the Helmholtz Institute Münster (HI MS). In its work, his team aims to understand the structural chemistry of functional materials – such as battery materials with specific performances – as well as their effects on their physical properties. In the project now to be funded – "DIONISOS" ("Diffuson-related transport in ionically conducting solids") – Wolfgang Zeier and his team want to analyse the relationships between heat and ion transport in solids. The aim is to understand how local vibrations of ions link heat and mass transport in functional materials.
