Sustainable Electrochemical Technologies Group
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.
