The 9th Ertl Symposium – Basic Electrochemical Reactions Linked with INsight Processes is taking place from 24–28 March 2026 in Gwangju, South Korea. Named after Nobel Laureate Gerhard Ertl, this international conference brings together researchers, engineers, and industry experts to explore cutting-edge developments in electrochemistry and related technologies.
The symposium addresses some of the most pressing global challenges of the 21st century, including environmental sustainability, climate change, energy conversion, water and food security, and the efficient use of raw materials. It provides a platform for exchanging ideas and scientific solutions, particularly through advanced studies in physical chemistry and electrochemistry.
We are proud to announce that Tobias Morawietz, REDHy project coordinator, will present on “bipolar-membrane based redox-mediator electrolysis.” This innovative technology combines bipolar membranes with redox mediators to make electrolysis processes more efficient and robust. It holds significant potential for sustainable hydrogen production and other energy-intensive chemical processes.
The REDHy project focuses on developing electrolysis methods that operate under milder conditions while improving the performance and durability of electrochemical cells. Innovations like these are essential for scaling sustainable energy solutions and advancing the green hydrogen economy.
We wish Tobias and all symposium participants a successful and inspiring event in Gwangju!
