Electrocatalysis

The development of renewable energy abounds with worldwide research effort. Chemical bonds present as powerful intermediates for the storage and relaxation of excess energy from intermittent sources such as wind and solar. In pursuit of high energy conversion efficiency, the development of catalysts minimizing the energy barriers is essential. Our lab seeks active electrocatalysts for the synthesis of valuable fuel and chemicals with electricity as driving forces, such as CO2 reduction, water splitting, and chemical commodities production; and the relaxation of energy via fuel cell technology, underscoring the alcohol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions.
