Wolf Vielstich (born 18 June 1923[1] in Munich; died 27 August 2021[2]) was a German chemist and professor at the University of Bonn from 1965 to 1988.[3] His research focus included batteries and fuel cells.[4]
Early life[edit | edit source]
He worked as a graduate student with Heinz Gerischer as his thesis advisor, did a postdoc at Louisiana State University with Paul Delahay and moved to the University of Bonn in 1958. He completed his habilitation in 1965 with a book on fuel cells, after which he was appointed professor in Bonn.[5] In 1972 he was appointed director of the institute, he retired in 1998 from the University of Bonn.[1][6]
In 1998, he received the Faraday Medal from the Royal Society of Chemistry.
