研究领域

Solar and wind energy capacity is rapidly growing, as are CO2 emissions. There is a growing need for solutions that can store electrical energy and solutions that can efficiently convert CO2 in useful products. Electrocatalysis of CO2 presents an opportunity to both store renewable electrons, and apply them to upgrade CO2 into useful products and fuels. In collaboration with the Sargent Group we are developing highly effective electrocatalytic conversion systems and scaling CO2 electrocatalysis for economic viability and environmental impact.
