Our collaboration with the Hudson Lab is published in Angewandte Chemie!
We contributed ATR-SEIRAS spectroscopy of tetrazole luminophores on gold and propose the first example of a reversible, visible light-induced
self-assembled monolayer.

RESEARCH AREAS
We are an inorganic research group with interests in the preparation and interrogation of molecular and interfacial electrocatalysts for sustainable energy applications. We draw conceptual inspiration from enzyme active sites to design efficient, selective, and tunable synthetic catalysts. We use cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry, time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy, and SEIRA spectroscopy to gain a deeper understanding of relevant governing parameters and mechanisms.
