| Title | Designing Interfaces for Electrocatalysis |
The majority of today’s research in electrocatalysis is focused on designing catalyst materials and processes that can surpass the current benchmarks of classical catalysis. However, the development of performance parameters for important electrochemical reactions, such as oxygen evolution reaction and CO2 reduction reaction, has been slow due to intrinsic limitations such as adsorption energy scaling relation of the intermediate species. Recent theoretical and experimental studies have revealed that designing interfaces plays the key role in enhanced catalytic activity, selectivity, and durability.
In this seminar, I’ll introduce a couple of applications of interface designed electrocatalysts in water splitting, CO2 reduction, and C-N coupling reactions.
