Welcome!
Welcome to the homepage of the research group “Inorganic Materials Chemistry” IMC of Prof. Dr. Anjana Devi.
Our group focuses on the development, synthesis and evaluation of high-performance precursors for vapor phase deposition processes namely chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD).
We collaborate with scientists from various disciplines (Physics, Chemistry and Engineers) and our goal is to develop nanostructured materials for different applications ranging from microelectronics, sensors, dielectrics, barrier coatings, spintronics, optics, catalysis etc.

Apart from developing a new class of Ni precursors, NiO thin films were grown via CVD and its assessment in electrocatalysis revealed promising activity for oxygen evolution reactions (OER).
Another fruitful collaboration with Dr. Dereje Taffa and Prof. Michael Wark from the University of Oldenburg.
