 Wolf
Vielstich started research work on Fuel Fells
and Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis at Ruhrchemie
/ Oberhausen. Working in the field of Fundamental
and Applied Electrochemistry at the Institute
of Physical Chemistry of Bonn University,
he completed his Habilitation in Physical
Chemistry in 1962. From 1965 he was a professor
and director at the Bonn Institute. His special
interest was new experimental methods like
Rotating Ring Electrodes, online MS, Insitu
IR and UHV-analysis of electrode surfaces,
as well as to Batteries and Fuel Cells. His
work in Electrochemistry has resulted in more
than 250 publications, over 10 patents, books
on Fuel Cells and Electrochemical Kinetics,
and textbooks on Electrochemistry. From 1986
to 1993, Professor Vielstich was co-ordinator
of the first European project on the DMFC
and in 1998 he received the Faraday Medal
of the Royal Chemical Society, UK. |
