Modeling Electrocatalytic Materials and Interfaces for Energy Conversion
Presenter
Ismaila Dabo holds a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and B.S. and M.S. degrees from École Polytechnique, France. Before coming to Carnegie Mellon, he worked as a tenured associate professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Department of Physics at the Pennsylvania State University with joint appointments in the Penn State Institutes of Energy and the Environment, and the Penn State Materials Research Institute. His awards include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), Wilson Teaching Excellence Award, Montgomery-Mitchell Teaching Innovation Award, Corning Chair in Materials Science and Engineering, and the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Award.
Description
Water electrolysis is a key enabler for meeting the global energy demands by sustainably producing molecular hydrogen and oxygen. While significant progress has been made in developing catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, the performance of electrochemical cells remains limited by the activity, selectivity, and durability of existing catalysts. This talk will highlight advances in the modeling of electrochemical materials and interfaces under realistic operating conditions to accelerate the discovery and optimization of electrocatalytic cells.
