Battery and Fuel Cell Technology

Katharina Hengge studied Chemistry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. After finishing her Master degree in 2013, she started her PhD work at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH in Düsseldorf. The scope of her PhD work is the degradation analysis of polymer-based fuel cells. Knowledge of the parameters that influence different operation related degradation mechanisms helps improve the fuel cells´ overall performance and elongate their lifetime. She completed her PhD in September 2017.
