Surface
Electrochemistry Electrochemical
processes are important in a number
of technologies from synthesis and
electrodeposition of new materials
to development of efficient catalysts
for fuel cell reactions. Research
in this group uses in situ nonlinear
optical spectroscopy to study electrode
processes while under potential
control. The results of these investigation
provide a molecular level description
of the surface chemistry that is
useful to the the understanding
of these new materials. The systems
under investigation are corrosion
inhibiting monolayers, electrocatalysts,
electropolymers and nanoparticle
systems.
