About this project

The NCWE team seeks to reduce the cost of catalysts in acidic environments using nitrides of Earth-abundant metals (EAM). The state-of-the-art synthesis, characterization theoretical modeling, and machine learning methods are strongly coordinated, going from fundamental understandings of catalytic behaviors under operating conditions toward design principles for developing EAM-based materials as active, stable and cost-effective electrocatalysts for water electrolysis.
