Personal profile
Research Interests
I am a Research Fellow at Coventry University, specialising in electrochemistry and material science, with a particular focus on advancing renewable energy technologies, such as water electrolysers. My expertise lies in experimental design, material synthesis, and characterisation.
Currently, my research is centred around developing efficient electrocatalytic materials for high-current density applications in anion exchange membrane electrolysers. I employ techniques such as electrodeposition and solvothermal synthesis to fabricate novel catalysts for optimal electrochemical performance. To analyse these materials, I use a range of techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). This interdisciplinary approach aims to deepen our understanding of AEM electrolysis and improve the efficiency and stability of the AMEWE systems.
