Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion

The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (formerly Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry) is a scientific research facility located in the German town of Mülheim, northeast of Düsseldorf. One of 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society, it was first part of the neighboring Max Planck Institute for Coal Research and became independent in 1981 under the name of Max Planck Institute for Radiation Chemistry. It was renamed to Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry in 2003, to reflect its changing research focus. Following a significant restructuring and expansion of its departments in 2011, it was re-established in 2012 as the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion. It consists of research departments specializing on heterogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysis, biophysical chemistry, and theoretical chemistry.
