Project
An electrochemical and computational investigation of SO2 oxidation: surface modelling, electrocatalyst development and testing.
Supervisor
To investigate and evaluate the catalytic activity (current density, overpotential and onset potential) of alternative electrocatalysts (Pt being currently employed) with regards to SO2 oxidation. Combinatorial sputtering in conjunction with modelling and electrochemical testing will be employed to develop and evaluate these electrocatalysts.
