About the Research

Research Theme

Electrochemical reactivity of inorganic complexes for reactions of energy importance

Keyword

Electrochemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Synthetic chemistry, NH3 oxidation

Research Outline

My research has focused on the synthesis of transition metal complexes and their catalytic application for the electrochemical conversion of small molecules of energy importance. Electrocatalytic reactions such as ammonia oxidation to N2, CO2 reduction, and hydrogen evolution have been my primary interest.
