About the SEE Group

We explore basic problems of electrocatalysis of fuel cell reactions, while focusing on platinum monolayer (PtML) electrocatalysts for the O2 reduction reaction (ORR), the electrocatalysts for ethanol and methanol oxidation to CO2, H2 evolution (HER) and H2oxidation (HOR) reactions. The goals include developing the fundamental understanding of these systems to allow syntheses of improved electrocatalysts with ultimately low Pt content.
