Electrochemical Energy Conversion
Major research interests
The Electrochemical Energy Conversion group is dedicated to exploring the core principles of electrochemical processes, with a particular emphasis on dynamic conditions. Our mission is to innovate diagnostic solutions for electrochemical processes, optimize their performance under varying conditions, and pioneer novel electrochemical syntheses for chemical production, especially within the context of a circular economy. Current projects include polymer electrolyte water electrolysis, polymer electrolyte fuel cells, CO2 reduction, batteries and electroenzymatic syntheses. We employ a synergistic approach that integrates mechanistic and data-driven mathematical models with meticulously designed experiments.
