Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Water Splitting

Date: July 22, 2020

Time: 09:00AM - 10:30AM

You must be registered to participate!

Water-splitting electrolysis using an electrocatalyst and a renewable power source is a promising energy conversion technology, especially when combined with energy stored in the form of hydrogen that has the benefit of also being environmentally friendly. The electrocatalyst can be rationally designed using nanomaterials spanning from transition-metal-based oxides and their derivatives, organic polymer nanomaterials, to inorganic-organic nanocomposites. The July 2020 issue of MRS Bulletin discusses materials innovations for realizing highly efficient and durable electrocatalysts for large-scale, cost-effective water splitting

This webinar expanded upon and complemented the articles in this MRS Bulletin issue with talks from leading experts in the field. An interactive Q&A session follows each of the talks.

Talk Presentations:

  • Recent advances in rational design of efficient electrocatalyst for full water splitting across all pH conditions
    Gnanaprakasam Janani, Chonnam National University
    Talk begins at 7:40
       
  • Functionally graded nanocomposite materials for catalysis: From hard coatings to energy applications
    Emerson Coy, NanoBioMedical Centre, Adam Mickiewicz University
    Talk begins at 36:18
       
  • Interfacing metals and compounds for enhanced H₂ evolution from water splitting
    Yujie Sun, University of Cincinnati
    Talk begins at 1:10:51
