Research Information:

Elena Baranova’s Laboratory of Electrochemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering applies advanced electrochemical processes to greenhouse gas mitigation, waste valorization and energy storage. Using well-defined, nano-structured electrocatalysts and renewable electricity, we convert waste carbon dioxide (CO2) to value-added chemicals. In addition, glycerol electrochemical valourization simultaneously with the green hydrogen (H2) production are in the centre of our research initiatives. Keywords: green hydrogen, CO2 conversion to value-added products, greenhouse gas mitigation, nanoparticle catalyst, renewable electricity, energy-storage
