Description
Hydrogen's three naturally occurring isotopes, protium (H), deuterium (D) and tritium (T) lie at the focus of the DFG Research Training Group 1,2,3H (RTG 2721), which combines the expertise of Leipzig University, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf/Research Site Leipzig, and the Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering in the fields of laser spectroscopy, materials science, lab-on-a-chip technology, advanced organic synthesis and radiochemistry. Our research and training programme is aimed at gaining an atomic-level understanding of nuclear quantum effects in nanostructured materials and nH-bonded networks in order to develop enabling technologies for H/D/T separation using porous materials, electrocatalytic D/T labelling and microscale T detection.
