Earth-Abundant Metal Complexes Binding N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Based Ligands for the Photocatalytic Carbon Dioxide Reduction Reaction
… of relying on fossil fuels. The light-driven reduction of CO2 to formate and CO is a practical approach for generating fuels from a greenhouse gas, as formate is directly usable in fuel cells, while CO could be used to produce diesel fuels via the Fischer-Tropsch process. However, a robust and …

Interrogating electrocatalytic mechanisms and developing nano-porous catalysts for energy conversion reactions: I. Oxygen evolution reaction, and II. Carbon dioxide reduction reaction
… new nano-porous catalysts for energy conversion reactions including the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CRR). First, I examined the oxygen evolution reaction in basic electrolytes using in situ electrochemical surface stress measurements. Second, I developed …

Engineering Biological Materials for Carbon Capture and the Electrochemical Reduction of Carbon Dioxide to Light Hydrocarbons
Decarbonization of the global economy will require the identification of substitute carbon sources for the production of fuels, plastics, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and other products that are derived from fossil carbon. The gigaton scale of carbon dioxide emissions necessitates the development of …
