DTU Energy

It is common to all our technologies that they depend on functional materials – materials with specific electrical, magnetic, thermal, chemical or electrochemical properties – for their operation. Electron- or ion-conducting ceramics have applications for fuel cells (solid oxide fuel cells, SOFC) and electrolysis cells, photovoltaic polymers may be used for polymer solar cells, and some magnetic materials have applications as active components for efficient refrigeration devices. Research at the Department include many different aspects of functional materials and their applications in energy technologies. It is our strong belief that the best results are obtained by having technological development take place in tight interaction with fundamental research. Our research is organized into a number of technology tracks: Fuel cells, electrolysis, solar cells, batteries, solid state storage of hydrogen and ammonia, gas separation membranes, magnetic refrigeration, thermoelectric components, flue gas purification, and superconducting components. In addition, the Department operates a test center for fuel cells and hydrogen technologies where industry can get components tested, and a test center for polymer solar cells where organic photovoltaics can be tested under different conditions.
