The Thommes group was well-represented at the 37th German Zeolite Conference, held from February 25th to 27th, 2026, in Stuttgart. With a team of six members attending, the group showcased a wide range of its current research areas. Key presentations covered the fundamentals of adsorption, novel materials characterization techniques using physisorption and NMR relaxometry, as well as advancements in gas storage and separation.
The scientific contributions of the group members included an insightful oral presentation as well as several poster sessions:
Dr. Carola Vorndran gave a talk on “Advanced Wettability Characterization of Zeolites and Silica by Combining Adsorption with NMR Relaxometry” (Authors: C. Vorndran, L. Sandner, M. Thommes).
Lukas Sandner presented a poster on “Pore Size Analysis of Nanoporous Silica Materials by Advanced NMR Relaxometry and Gas Adsorption” (authors: L. Sandner, C. Vorndran, M. Thommes).
Jincheng Xu showcased a poster titled “Effect of Pore Structure on High-Pressure Adsorption of Hydrogen” (authors: J. Xu, M. Thommes).
Jens Dümler presented a poster highlighting “Advanced characterization of nanoporous materials using a novel in-situ vapor sorption calorimetry method” (authors: J. Dümler, M. Thommes).
Prantik Sarkar shared his results via a poster on “Advanced Physisorption Characterisation of CALF-20 for Hydrogen Isotope Separation” (authors: P. Sarkar, J. Xu, M. Thommes, M. Hirscher).
