UsingĀ In SituĀ Vibrational Spectroscopy to Probe (Electro)Catalytic Interfaces

The combination of electrochemical methods with molecular spectroscopy can provide valuable information about chemical processes at electrode-electrolyte interfaces. In particular, Raman and infrared spectroscopies have been shown to yield unique mechanistic insights into chemical reactions at electrodes by enabling fingerprinting of surface species via identification of characteristic vibrational modes. These powerful toolsā€¦

Chemical Recycling of Commercial Poly(l-lactic acid) toĀ l-Lactide Using a High-Performance Sn(II)/Alcohol Catalyst System

Poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) is a leading commercial polymer produced from biomass, showing useful properties for plastics and fiber applications; after use, it is compostable. One area for improvement is postconsumer waste PLLA chemical recycling to monomer (CRM), i.e., the formation of l-lactide (l-LA) from waste plastic. This process is currently feasibleā€¦

Computational Advancement towards Efficient Catalytic Materials – Connecting a Few DotsĀ 

In this talk, I would like to present a two-fold research activity interconnected with a common string ā€œCatalysisā€. The first part would be dedicated to the fundamental mechanism for the solar irradiated water splitting in photocatalytic materials with the future prospect of Non-linear Poisson Boltzmann Solver development for the heterogenous catalytic mechanism.The relevant explorationā€¦
