Photoelectrocatalytic Group
Description
The main areas of scientific activity of the research group is related to:
- synthezis of metallic, semiconducting and composite materials for applications in the production of hydrocarbons and hydrogen
- analysis of the efficiency, selectivity and stability of materials designed for applications in electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis
- analysis of the mechanism and kinetics of electrode reactions
- catalytic materials deposited onto the surface of gas-permeable electrodes used in flow reactors supplied directly with CO2
- electrochemical synthesis of semiconductors
- electrodeposition
- corrosion of metals and alloys.
Research activities in the context of the analytical techniques:
- voltammetry, electrogravimetry, WD-XRF, impedance spectroscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, photocurrent spectroscopy, rotating disk electrode (also with a ring), gas chromatography.
