Anke Weidenkaff


Anke Weidenkaff (* 27 December 1966 in Hanover) is a German-Swiss chemist and materials scientist. Since 2018, she has been Head of the Department of Materials Engineering and Resource Management at the Faculty of Materials Science at Darmstadt University of Technology and Head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Materials Recycling and Resource Strategy IWKS in Hanau and Alzenau.

Live
Anke Weidenkaff studied chemistry at the University of Hamburg and completed her doctorate in 1999 at ETH Zurich in the Department of Chemistry. In 2006, she received the Venia Legendi for Solid State Chemistry and Materials Science at the University of Augsburg and became Head of Department at Empa and Professor at the University of Bern, Switzerland. From 2013 to 2018, she was Director of the Institute of Materials Science at the University of Stuttgart, where she headed the Chair of Chemical Materials Synthesis. Since 1 October 2018, Anke Weidenkaff has been head of the Fraunhofer IWKS in Hanau and Alzenau. Anke Weidenkaff is also a professor at Darmstadt University of Technology for the subject area of materials engineering and resource management.

From 2016 to 2019, she was President of the European Thermoelectric Society (ETS), of which she had been a member of the Board since 2007. She has been an elected board member of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) since 2012. In both 2019 and 2013 she was co-chair of the 2019 E-MRS Spring Meeting and in 2021 she was a board member, organiser and speaker of the 2021 E-MRS Autumn Meeting. In 2022 she will also serve as a board member and organiser E-MRS Autumn Meeting.

Since 2020, Anke Weidenkaff has been a member of the German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU).

Science
Die Hauptforschungs- und Fachgebiete von Anke Weidenkaff sind Materialwissenschaft und Ressourcenstrategien, einschließlich der Entwicklung, Synthesechemie und Charakterisierung von Substitutionsmaterialien für die Energieumwandlung und -speicherung. Aufbauend auf wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse der Festkörperchemie konzentriert sich ihre derzeitige Arbeit auf die Materialwissenschaft und im Speziellen die Entwicklung von nachhaltigen Materialien und Prozesstechnologien der nächsten Generation für effiziente, geschlossene Materialkreisläufe. Anke Weidenkaff arbeitet mit ihrem Team aktuell an Technologien zur Produktion von (grünem) Wasserstoff inklusive photoelektrochemischer Wasserspaltung, der Herstellung von Carbon Nanotubes mittels Mikrowellen-Plasmasynthese zur Speicherung von Kohlenstoff sowie nachhaltigen Perowskit materialien. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt sie sich mit der Entwicklung von Thermoelektrika, Elektrokeramiken und keramischen Membranen. Gemeinsam mit der Abteilung Energiematerialien des Fraunhofer IWKS forscht sie an nachhaltigen Materialien und Recyclingtechnologien für Batterien und Brennstoffzellen. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ihrer Arbeit liegt auf der „Green ICT“, der Entwicklung von nachhaltigen Materialien und Prozessen für die Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie.
