Herman Schreuders
Since 2009 I am working in the MECS group at the TU Delft. The group is working on materials for energy conversion and storage. Together with Joost Middelkoop and Bart Boshuizen we support the researchers in the group.
In my present research, I focus on the deposition of materials for sustainable energy applications, such as hydrogen sensors, hydrogen storage materials, hydrogen membranes, smart windows. I am also involved in the deposition of anode, cathode and catalyst materials for electrochemical conversions.
