Doped Metal Perovskites for Electrocatalysis: Theory and Experiment

This integrated theoretical and experimental project aims at discovery and design of new perovskite metal-oxide electrocatalyst materials and development of new electrocatalytic methods for efficiently driving the oxygen evolution reaction and the oxygen reduction reaction. These are the two most crucial reactions in sustainable energy cycles involving water, hydrogen and oxygen. The advances in electrocatalysis efficiency for these two reactions anticipated in the project may have significant impact on sustainable energy technologies such as fuel cells, metal air batteries and water splitting.
