Electrochemist, materials scientist, X-ray enthusiast. Working on carbon conversion. Postdoc at Lawrence Livermore National Lab.
We studied the mechanism by which low frequency current pulsing can improve lifetimes for CO2 to ethylene electrolysis. Using operando neutron imaging, we found that low current pulses allow for water/salt buildup to dissipate. Out now in EES Catalysis:

Low-frequency electrochemical pulsing to manage flooding and salt precipitation in zero-gap CO2-to-ethylene electrolyzers
The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to ethylene presents a promising route for utilizing exhaust gases to produce value-added chemicals with broad manufacturing applications. While z...

My first first-author paper of my postdoc is out now in JACS! We explored activating reactive carbon capture in amines using Ni-N/C catalysts, exploring how the speciation of the electrolyte and active sites affected the mechanism/performance of RCC. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Solution and Active Site Speciation Drive Selectivity for Electrocatalytic Reactive Carbon Capture in Diethanolamine over Ni–N–C Catalysts
Direct conversion of captured forms of carbon, or reactive carbon capture (RCC), presents an opportunity to reduce the energy intensity and cost of direct CO2 utilization from dilute sources. While am...
