Research for a sustainable energy supply - welcome to NETZ!
At NETZ, experts from the fields of physics, chemistry and engineering research new materials for energy technology applications. They strive to analyze and understand mechanisms at every step along the entire process chain. Based on this knowledge, the aim is to develop scalable and automated methods for the production and processing of nanomaterials with specific properties and to explore these for industrial application.

Mission & Vision
NETZ (NanoEnergieTechnikZentrum) brings together the University of Duisburg-Essen’s expertise in nanomaterials and energy technology. Through interconnected laboratory infrastructures (“Linked Facilities”), we enable integrated process chains – from materials synthesis to integration into energy technology demonstrators.
Research Groups
At NETZ, research groups from chemistry, physics, and engineering bring together their expertise under one roof, working hand in hand to develop the materials for tomorrow’s energy technologies.
ICAN
The DFG-funded ICAN research instrumentation center brings together state-of-the-art equipment, analytical methods, and scientific expertise for nanoscale characterization at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Here, fundamental research in the natural sciences contributes to the application-oriented development of new materials.
Projects
These interdisciplinary collaborative research projects are particularly important to the work carried out at NETZ.
