Joint Labs
At CSMB, we work closely with a range of partners through joint labs to foster collaborative research.
These partnerships allow us to combine expertise, resources, and technology in a focused effort to address key challenges in material science. By sharing knowledge and working together, we aim to contribute to meaningful advancements in our areas of study.
Berlin-Adlershof Center for Advanced Microscopy
Joint Labs with HZB & FHI at HU Physics for Electron & Scanning Probe Microscopies
Within BeAM a number of advanced microscopy techniques are available that are enabled by (scanning) transmission electron microscopes [(S)TEMs] and scanning probe microscopes [SPM]. For some techniques, there exists a dedicated instrument, and some techniques are available on multiple instruments, albeit with different parameters (e.g. spatial or spectral resolution).

JRL Cat
Joint Research Laboratory for Catalysis
In order to make our energy system CO2-neutral, the production of green hydrogen and its further processing into basic chemicals and synthetic fuels on an industrial global scale is absolutely necessary. However, such a hydrogen economy can only be achieved with innovative leaps in synthetic chemistry. Novel catalysts and catalytic processes are the key.
The Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU) have partnered to establish a cutting-edge catalysis laboratory within our research building in Adlershof. We provide ideal conditions for advancing research on catalysts, essential for sustainable technologies like “green” hydrogen production.
This collaboration fosters interdisciplinary innovation, leveraging thin-film technologies, additive manufacturing, and nanostructuring methods to develop energy materials. With its unique setup and focus on integration, CSMB strengthens Berlin’s position as a leader in catalysis research.

GenFab
Generative manufacturing processes for hybrid components
Since August 2018, the HZB-group of Prof. Eva Unger and the group of Prof. Dr. Emil List-Kratochvil from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, have cooperated on the long-term project “Generative manufacturing processes for hybrid components” (GenFab).
They develop large scale (opto)electronic devices, printed solar cells and components fabricated by printing and solution-based methods from hybrid materials: from transparent conductive electrodes to memory devices, transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells and sensor applications.
To enforce the synergy between their research groups, they decided to establish a new jointly used lab space for GenFab based in the CSMB research building.

JAMA
Joint Laboratory for Advanced Magneto-Transport Adlershof
The Joint Laboratory for Advanced Magneto-Transport is a facility of the Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. It combines the excellent equipment and complementary scientific expertise of both institutions to provide state-of-the-art high magnetic field and low temperature infrastructure for solid state physics and materials science research and to make it available to both institutions and their partners with the aim of investigating modern electronic materials and materials, in particular nano- and quantum structures in the field of electronics and photonics.
JAMA celebrates its opening on January 29, 2025.

HySPRINT
Hybrid Silicon Perovskite Research, Integration & Novel Technologies
HySPRINT is a cooperation platform for industry with a focus on (opto)electronic materials and devices at an early technological stage of development.
Notable achievements include the development of record-breaking perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells and the spin-off of QYB Quantum Yield Berlin.
As one of sixteen Helmholtz Innovation Labs, HySPRINT is a technology transfer instrument supported by the Helmholtz Association. It is also a member of the HZB CoreLabs, HEMF (Helmholtz Energy Materials Foundry), and a partner of the Cluster Energy Technology Berlin Brandenburg.
