Electroanalytical Methodologies and Reactivities
Objective: Study of charge storage mechanisms and reactivities at interfaces in aqueous media.
Research areas:
- Investigating Proton-coupled electron transfer reactions at various redox-active materials: from metal oxides (TiO2, MnO2, WO3…) to organic composites/polymers;
- Analysis of proton specificity as a charge carrier, mono/multivalent cation-proton competition;
- Metal electrodeposition/electrodissolution processes in aqueous electrolytes;
- Development of electroanalytical methodologies and multiphysics modelling tools; – Bifunctional electrochromic devices (smart windows).
