Sustainable Electrochemical Technologies Group
From molecular mechanisms to scalable solutions
We are an interdisciplinary research group based in the Department of Materials. Our research aims to develop active, stable and selective catalysts for a range of electrochemical processes, including the production of green fuels, the synthesis of high-value chemicals from renewable feedstocks, and the remediation of environmental pollutants. We combine the synthesis of well-defined surfaces and nanostructured materials with advanced spectroscopic and surface-sensitive techniques to gain mechanistic insight into reactivity at solid-liquid and solid-gas interfaces. This fundamental approach enables us to probe catalytic processes at the atomic scale and inform rational catalyst design. Our group maintains a wide network of international collaborations with experimental and theoretical academic groups, industrial partners, and national research facilities, working together to accelerate the development and deployment of sustainable electrochemical technologies.
