Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Preface: phys. stat. sol. (b) 245/9 Beteiligte: Ellmer, Klaus; Fiechter, Sebastian Erschienen: Wiley, 2008 Erschienen in: physica status solidi (b) Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/pssb.200879548 ISSN: 0370-1972; 1521-3951 Schlagwörter: Condensed Matter Physics ; Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The present Festschrift entitled “Solar energetics – from photovoltaics to water splitting” is dedicated to Professor Helmut Tributsch on the occasion of his 65th birthday.</jats:p><jats:p>The sohonoured now looks back on an impressive scientific work spanning the entire range from questions in physics and chemistry to biology, with an emphasis on deciphering electro‐chemical and electrocatalytic processes. This research was carried out in collaboration with his group at the former Hahn‐Meitner‐Institut<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#fn1" /><jats:fn><jats:p>Now “Helmholtz‐Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie” (HZB), or “Helmholtz Centre Berlin for Materials and Energy”.</jats:p></jats:fn> in Berlin‐Wannsee as well as on sabbaticals in other institutes worldwide. Beginning with his Ph.D. thesis in Munich on the sensitization of zinc oxide, most of his scientific work was devoted to the conversion of solar energy for a future‐oriented energy supply of mankind. The sixteen contributions of this Special Issue of pss (b) were written by friends, colleagues, and former co‐workers of Professor Helmut Tributsch and reflect the broad field of physics and chemistry related to solar energy and catalysis where he has been very active during his scientific life, i.e.:</jats:p><jats:p>– Sensitization of oxidic semiconductors</jats:p><jats:p>– New materials for photovoltaics and catalysis</jats:p><jats:p>– Novel heterostructures for water splitting</jats:p><jats:p>– <jats:italic>Ex‐situ</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>in‐situ</jats:italic> characterization methods</jats:p><jats:p>As reported in the laudatio on the following pages, Helmut Tributsch has made significant contributions to each of the above‐mentioned research fields.</jats:p><jats:p>We hope that this issue, besides acting as a tribute to Professor Tributsch's long and successful scientific career, will stimulate the research in these emerging and rapidly developing fields.</jats:p><jats:p>We, and surely also all contributors, friends, colleagues and collaborators, retrospectively wish Helmut Tributsch all the best for his 65th birthday and for his new phase in his life, which he is planning to spend in his homeland Friuli in the Alpes of North‐Italy.</jats:p><jats:p>We woud like to take the opportunity to thank the team of physica status solidi, especially its Editor‐in‐Chief Martin Stutzmann and Sabine Bahrs from the editorial office for the courtesy of publishing this Festschrift and for the excellent support in the implementation of the book edition at hand.
