Her exceptional poster contribution presented at the 74th Annual Meeting of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) in Lyon, France, held from September 3rd to 8th, 2023, was recognized with the BEST POSTER Prize.
Swantje's poster, titled 'Model-based Kinetic Analysis and Reaction Mechanism Identification of the Cyclohexanone Reduction in a PEM-Cell,' takes a deep dive into the electrification of cyclohexanol synthesis, shedding light on the of the reaction mechanism behind the process.
This accomplishment is a testament the product of a fruitful collaboration with the workgroup of Prof. Mahito Atobe and Prof. Naoki Shida from Yokohama National University, Japan. It’s also an excellent example of the possibilities and advantages of interdisciplinary research, combining experimental work with the approach of dynamic model-based analysis. This partnership was initiated within the international outreach of the BMBF Cluster4Future ETOS - Electrifying Technical Organic Syntheses, highlighting the global impact of their research.
Let's also recognize that Swantje's work builds upon the research of Shimizu et al., as referenced in her poster: Y. Shimizu et al., ACS Energy Lett. 2023, 1010.
Congratulations to Swantje Pauer and the entire research team for their significant contributions to the field of electrochemistry and sustainable organic synthesis processes!
