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.
