Research Overview
The primary focus of our research effort is on the fundamental studies of electrochemical reactions, electrocatalyst function, and the design of new materials for furthering electrochemical technologies. Our lab is multidisciplinary, combining electrochemical, analytical, materials, and physical chemistry techniques.
Electrocatalysis
We aim to gain a deeper understanding of electrocatalyst reactivity and selectivity. By understanding how reactions occur at electrode surfaces, we aim to develop more effective catalysts and improve the efficiency of electrochemical processes.
Carbon Conversion
Our research focuses on understanding the electrochemical conversion pathways of CO2 and CO. We utilize and develop in-situ methods for detecting key reaction intermediates to better understand how catalyst design influences product selectivity and performance.
Energy Storage Materials
We design, synthesize, and characterize innovative electrode materials for energy conversion and storage. Our work explores ion transport, phase transition mechanisms, and electrochemical kinetics to improve the performance, efficiency, and durability of next-generation batteries and related energy storage systems.
Kinetic Isotope Analysis
We develop electrochemical approaches for the efficient separation, detection, and speciation of tritiated compounds. Our research seeks to improve the understanding of tritium chemistry and advance technologies that support environmental monitoring and isotope management.
