ABOUT STEPHANIE ELISABETH WOLF

Passionate about electrochemistry and material science, I am dedicated to shaping the world of tomorrow. With a strong foundation in chemistry from RWTH Aachen University, where I specialized in catalysis, computational chemistry, and spectroscopy, I’ve focused my work on the intersection of innovation and sustainability. I completed my Ph.D. in developing electrode materials for high-temperature electrolysis, particularly for hydrogen production and Power-to-X technologies. My expertise spans materials synthesis, chemical-physical characterization, fabrication of solid oxide cells, and electrochemical characterization of cells, with a specific focus on optimizing processes for hydrogen production and electrolysis. Currently, as researcher at the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics, I am expanding my skill set by taking on project management and communication responsibilities, ensuring the smooth execution and collaboration of interdisciplinary and international research efforts. Areas of Expertise: Materials science, solid state chemistry, solid state electrochemistry, ceramic processing, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC), MIEC oxide materials, surface chemistry. Engineering skills: Materials synthesis (solid state reaction, sol-gel process), X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinement, chemical analysis, transport properties, IEDP-SIMS analysis, electronic and ionic conductivity, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dilatometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX), screen printing technique, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), cell preparation and measurements, degradation studies, post mortem analysis.
