Electrochemistry Lab for Energy and Environment (ELEE)

The electrocatalytic hydrogen cycle with carbon and nitrogen resources is of emerging interest for renewable energy and environment.

ELEE focuses on developing efficient and high-performing electrocatalytic system for carbon and nitrogen mediated hydrogen cycle.

Currently, ELEE is looking for master & PhD candidates who are highly motivated in electrocatalysis.
