Description

Operando Monitor of Gas Evolution in Renewable Energy Systems. The gas evolution reactions are critically important in renewable energy systems. However, the gas evolution mechanisms in many energy systems have not been well investigated due to the fast reaction dynamics and trace of gaseous byproducts. In this project, we will combine the technology of differential electrochemical mass spectrometry with in-situ Raman/FTIR investigation to collect information on adsorbed species, reaction products, and intermediates on a short timescale. By characterising the changes in product distribution in various systems, the reaction mechanism can be revealed, and relevant information for specific reactions can be obtained. This will provide guidelines for fundamental knowledge in renewable energy systems.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Prof Hao Liu
