From March 24th to 26th, the Thommes group had a strong presence at the 2026 French-German Adsorption Conference in Duisburg, contributing several high-level presentations to the program:
- Prof. Matthias Thommes gave a talk on “Advanced textural characterization of Carbon Molecular Sieves complementing the development of material structure and process performance correlations” (Authors: A. Marcinek, C. Vorndran, M. Thommes).
- Lukas Sandner presented his recent findings on “Pore Size Analysis by Advanced NMR Relaxometry and Gas Adsorption” (Authors: L. Sandner, C. Vorndran, M. Thommes).
- Jens Dümler showcased a poster on “Advanced characterization of nanoporous materials using a novel in-situ vapor sorption calorimetry method” (Authors: J. Dümler, M. Thommes).
- Jincheng Xu contributed a poster on “Confined Geometry Effects on the Supercritical Adsorption Behavior of Hydrogen” (Authors: J. Xu, M. Thommes).
The findings shared by the group are highly relevant for optimizing nanoporous materials across various applications, including gas storage, catalysis, water harvesting, adsorption-based heating/cooling, and gas separation.
Beyond the scientific program, it was a great pleasure to reconnect with former group member Jakob Söllner (now at Linde Engineering) during this year’s conference.
