We study electrochemical systems at the nanoscale. We invent new techniques for measuring nanoscale electrochemical processes, use simulations to understand the electrochemical response, and characterize nano-structured electrochemically active materials. Recently, we have been taking our fundamental understanding of electrochemical reaction and applying these to the development of electrolysis flow cells.<\/p>\n
Electrochemical Scanning Probe Microscopy<\/strong><\/p>\n We develop new techniques which aim to improve the resolution and functionality of electrochemical scanning probe microscopy (EC-SPM), such as Scanning Electrochemical Cell Microscopy (SECCM), Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM), Intermittent-Contact Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (IC-SECM), and Scanning Bubble Electrochemical Microscopy.<\/p>\n 2D Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n We study how the structure of a 2D material (such as number of layers, edges vs basal plane, support material, defects) influences electrochemical reactions on the surface.<\/p>\n CO2 to Sustainable Aviation Fuels\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We study how we can turn waste CO2 into valuable liquid fuels. This includes the development of a validated digital twin for a CO2 electrolysis cell.<\/p>\n Simulation and Scientific Programming<\/strong><\/p>\n Using mathematical simulation and computational modelling to understand the transport of chemical species on the nanoscale, and quantify the electrochemical response of electrochemical sensors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We study electrochemical systems at the nanoscale.
