Molecular electrochemistry, electron transfer reactivity, proton-coupled electron transfer, activation of small molecules (CO2, O2, H+)
Our group is recognized at an international level in the field of molecular electrochemistry and electron transfer reactivity. Our research aim at the general understanding of all aspects of electron transfer chemistry coupled to molecular changes such as proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) or bond cleavage or bond formation. We are now investigating the electrochemical activation by metal complexes of small molecules such as H2, O2, H2O, CO2 in an effort to address contemporary energy challenges (storing energy into chemical bonds).
