What we do
Synthesis
Our group has been developing the synthesis of various semiconducting light absorbers, photonic crystals and catalysts with well-defined compositions, nanostructures, morphologies and advanced properties for electrocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry.
Characterization
We provide different characterization techniques based on atomic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and synchrotron measurements for (photo)electrocatalytic systems that may reveal design principles that enable development of active and selective catalysts and provide further insights into the reaction mechanism.
Integration
The (photo)electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to fuels offers an efficient strategy to reduce the presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere while concurrently producing valuable carbon-based products. In order to fabricate next generation devices, several components need to be integrated and work together with improved efficiency and stability.
Who We Are
Our research activities span synthesis and advanced characterization, based on atomic force microscopy and synchrotron experiments, of electrocatalysts and photoelectrocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction and water oxidation.
