Bettina Valeska Lotsch (born 7 September 1977 in Frankenthal (Pfalz)) is a German chemist.[1] [2] She is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany.
Life
Lotsch studied chemistry at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and graduated in 2000. In 2006, she completed her dissertation in the group of at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. From 2007 to 2008, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the group of G. A. Ozin at the University of Toronto. From 2009 to the beginning of 2017, she was an assistant professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, as well as an independent group leader for the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. In 2017, she became Director of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research and an honorary professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
Research
Her research focuses on rational materials synthesis at the interface of solid-state chemistry, materials chemistry, and nanochemistry. Materials of her research interest are:
- New materials for energy conversion and storage (e.g., porous frameworks, lithium solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries)
- Photonic nanostructures for optical sensing
- 2D nanosheet materials and artificial heterostructures
