Major Scientific Interests

Hans‐Joachim Freund has made sustained and groundbreaking contributions towards the development of model systems of heterogeneous catalysts which may be studied at the atomic level. Preparation and characterization of single crystalline ultrathin oxide films which can be used as supports for active components have been pioneered. This approach has since then been adopted by many other research groups worldwide.

The group at the Fritz‐Haber‐Institute of the Max Planck Society has become the leading research team in studying supported metal and oxide nanoparticles with respect to electronic structure and chemical reactivity. The full repertoire of surface analytical spectroscopy techniques is employed and even new experimental techniques and instruments are being developed to tackle problems in surface physics, chemistry and catalysis.
