Inverse Design, Development and Characterization of Catalytic Adsorbates at Semiconductor/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract

The collaborative team of Batista (Yale University), Kubiak (University of California, San Diego) and Lian (Emory University), have made significant progress in the understanding of the operation of catalysts for CO2 reduction on surfaces, including Re(I) bipyridyl complexes, Ni(cyclam) complexes, and pyridine-based molecules as well as development of in situ spectroscopic techniques for studying catalytic reactions during the last grant period. Each project involves an intimate combination of synthetic, electrochemical, computational, and spectroscopic techniques, especially as related to sum frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG) and in situ electrochemical SFG.
