At LEE we are conducting research in the
following areas:
Nanosized Materials
for Energy Conversion
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC)
based on direct oxidation of formic acid, ethanol and ammonia
- Synthesis and characterization of nanoparticle
electrocatalysts (Pd, Pt) and bimetallic nanoparticles (PtRu, PdPt, PtNi, etc.)
- Reaction kinetics and mechanisms at nanoparticle
surfaces
Electrochemical Promotion of Catalysis (EPOC)
- NOx
reduction from lean-burn and diesel engine exhausts
- Hydrocarbons oxidation at nanostructured
electropromoted catalysts
- Reactor development for practical application of
Electrochemical Promotion
- Design of catalytic systems in nanometer range
and their application to EPOC
High-performance Li-ion batteries
- Nanomaterials for
negative and positive electrodes in Li-ion batteries
