German chemist
Bettina Valeska Lotsch (born 7 September 1977 in
Frankenthal (Pfalz)) is a German chemist.
[1]
[2] She is Director at the
Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany.
Life
Lotsch studied chemistry at the
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and graduated in 2000.
[1] In 2006, she completed her dissertation in the group of
Wolfgang Schnick [
de ] at the
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich .
[1] From 2007 to 2008, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of
G. A. Ozin at the
University of Toronto .
[1] From 2009 to the beginning of 2017, she was an assistant professor at the
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich ,
[1] as well as an independent group leader for the
Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research .
[1] In 2017, she became Director of the
Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research and an honorary professor at the
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich .
[1]
Research
Her research focuses on rational materials synthesis at the interface of solid-state chemistry, materials chemistry, and nanochemistry.
[1] Materials of her research interest are:
[1]
New materials for energy conversion and storage (e.g., porous frameworks, lithium solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries)
[1]
Photonic nanostructures for optical sensing
[1]
2D nanosheet materials and artificial heterostructures
