Summary
Designing efficient and sustainable ways to produce fuels and chemicals is a major challenge in petrochemical manufacturing. Electrochemical processes can help improve efficiency. They involve porous metal electrodes that contain catalysts. This CAREER project will examine chemical reactions inside the small pores of the electrode. The research will reveal how pore size and connectivity influence reaction efficiency. The project will focus on hydrogen production and carbon dioxide conversion as example reactions. Still, the knowledge gained will benefit other electrochemical reactions. The p
