Research Interests
Our group focuses on developing materials that harvest solar energy and drive photoredox catalysis. Research in the group spans around visible-light-driven photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical systems for solar fuel generation, optoelectronic, upconversion devices, CO2 capture and utilization technologies. In parallel, we develop photovoltaics and electrocatalysts, with a strong emphasis on uncovering their mechanistic aspects through operando spectroelectrochemical methods.
