Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry offers an unique opportunity to investigate a variety of chemical processes at interfaces. Several research groups in our department study the fundamentals and applications of electrochemistry, which creates interdisciplinary research areas that span chemistry, physics, biology, and material/nano sciences.We take advantage of the powerful electrochemical approach to synthesize and characterize novel polymer/nano materials and also develop sensor devices. For instance, the high sensitivity and selectivity of our electrochemical sensors allow for in-situ monitoring of biologically important molecules such as DNA, neurotransmitters, and drugs at trace level. We are also interested in understanding how electrons, ions, and molecules are transported at solid/liquid, liquid/liquid, and membrane interfaces. To answer these questions, we develop new electrochemical methods as well as control interfacial structures at the molecular level.

Ceset: a transformative center in electrochemistry, ceset accelerates science, engineering, and technology development with integrated education and workforce impact.

Researchers at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBL) are longstanding leaders in electrochemical science and engineering research, education, and innovation, beginning with the invention of the field of Electrochemical Engineering by pioneers Charles Tobias and John Newman.

The Center for Electrochemical Science, Engineering, and Technology (CESET) is a  world-leading and world-changing effort in electrochemistry that achieves societal impact by tightly coupling and synergizing  across efforts in basic to applied science and engineering research, technology development and entrepreneurship , education and workforce development, and collaborative technoeconomic analysis to inform policy and research.

The team is particularly focused on science and technology underlying sustainable energy and the decarbonization of the economy, including clean electrochemical energy storage via batteries and hydrogen fuel necessary to prevent catastrophic climate change, carbon-neutral manufacturing, and carbon-capture technology. 

CESET also sees opportunity for deep impact in neuroscience and machine-brain-interface science and engineering, electrochemical synthesis of materials and chemicals, low-carbon electrowinning of metals, electrodeposition in semiconductors, and corrosion science.

The CESET team simultaneously and synergistically educates generations of diverse leaders who will carry on important electrochemistry work throughout the world through our leading program of fundamental and applied research, electrochemical science and engineering coursework and programs, and a network of industry, national laboratory, and academic partners.

CESET exemplifies and elevates the world leadership of UC Berkeley and LBL by spearheading innovation and growth in arguably the most-important technological frontier of our time:  electrochemical science and engineering.

Electrochemistry underlies critical aspects of modern civilization and is the key to realizing a sustainable, CO 2 -emission-free economy and mitigating climate change. Electrochemical science and engineering underlie battery devices that power portable electronics, electric vehicles, and a future electric grid that operates with nearly all power from intermittent renewable (wind, solar) sources. Electrochemical electrolysis devices convert electrical energy into renewable green hydrogen gas (a chemical fuel that can be burned like natural gas and in aviation or used in the synthesis of sustainable chemicals, products, and fertilizers). In turn, electrochemical fuel cells convert chemical fuels, like hydrogen gas, back to electricity on demand, with efficiencies unmatchable by combustion engines. Fuel cell development is thus critical to de-carbonizing long-distance transportation via cargo ships, trains, and trucking. CESET research enables these indispensable technologies to be improved by enhancing efficiency, lowering capital cost, and increasing durability.

Electrochemistry is increasingly being used commercially in the production of advanced semiconductor devices  for wiring complex three-dimensional nanoscale electrical circuits. 

Electrochemical transport is central to understanding and controlling electrical impulses (or action potentials) in neuronal systems, which form the fundamental units of the brain signal.

The US National Academies of Science hosted a workshop in 2020 on electrochemistry, emphasizing the growing importance and opportunity for advancement.

The Electrochemistry Group has research programmes to generate new materials and new electrochemical approaches to energy conversion and storage. This includes research into fuel cells, thermoelectrics, lithium batteries and supercapacitors.

Electrochemistry covers many aspects of fundamental science and large-scale industrial processes. Our group has developed courses that are popular with industry and academia across the world. Our work on the development and application of high-throughput methodologies in electrochemistry has been applied to functional materials discovery for a wide range of applications and for electrode modification in:

• electroanalysis
• biofuel cells

This has resulted in a successful spin-out company, Ilika , with more important work still being sought within chemistry. This includes work with the Advanced Composite Materials Facility . Work in the design of microflow electrolysis cells is enabling efficient laboratory organic synthesis.

Our group is active in the area of templated electrodeposition of nanomaterials and the applications of nanomaterials. Templated electrodeposition technologies, pioneered in Southampton, offer effective routes to new nanostructures which can produce large quantities, or areas, of material at a reasonable cost.

Electrochemistry - department of materials science and engineering, electrochemistry.

Electrochemistry Home

• Infrastructure

The Electrochemistry Group at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering aims to provide fundamental, theoretical and technological skills to masters and doctoral engineering students. The primary task for the electrochemistry group’s research activity is to develop fundamental understanding of electrochemical processes and electrochemical materials technology. This knowledge is brought forward into the group’s teaching, applied research and problem solving for industries, including the Norwegian electrolysis industry and for materials and corrosion related tasks within the chemical process and petroleum industry.

The electrochemistry group works with both fundamental and industrially relevant problem tasks important for the continuous development of a research-based electrochemistry education. Our masters and PhD candidates are highly desirable and commonly work closely together with Norwegian industry on joint research projects. Together with Sintef, the group has built up a large research laboratory within electrochemistry embracing electrowinning, electrochemical energy technology and corrosion. As a result, the group has numerous national and international collaborators and a research term abroad is often encouraged.

The electrochemistry group is split into three main research areas:

Electrochemical Energy

- Svein Sunde, Ann Mari Svensson, Frode Seland

Corrosion and Interface Chemistry

- Andreas Erbe

Electrolysis

-Geir Martin Haarberg, Espen Sandnes

Projects In addition, members of the electrochemistry group are part of a number of projects, either as project leaders or participants. Here are a few of them:

CANOPENER   LEAn SFI Metal Production FME MoZEES

A comprehensive list of all the group members can be found here.

We are committed to developing a fundamental understanding of electrochemical processes and electrochemical materials technology at all levels.

For this purpose, we run a number of courses for undergraduate, masters and PhD students:

Research profile

Our EaStCHEM Joint Research School was formed by the Universities of Edinburgh and St Andrews in 2004 to combine the research activities of two of Scotland’s leading schools of chemistry. EaStCHEM now provides the largest chemistry research unit in the UK.

In the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021), EaStCHEM was one of only three chemistry units to achieve a 100% “world-leading” score for our research environment. This result rewards our:

• provision of state-of-the-art facilities
• recruitment of high-quality academic, research and professional services staff
• collaboration across disciplines and with industry partners
• support for career development
• nurturing of talent

REF 2021 also assessed >99% of our research outputs as either “world-leading” or “internationally excellent” and 100% of the economic, social and environmental benefit in our impact case studies to be “outstanding” or “very considerable”.

In addition to gaining research skills, making friends, meeting eminent researchers and being part of the research community, a research degree will help you to develop invaluable transferable skills which you can apply to academic life or a variety of professions outside of academia.

The Chemistry/Biology Interface

This is a broad area, with particular strengths in the areas of:

• protein structure and function
• mechanistic enzymology
• peptide and protein synthesis
• protein folding
• recombinant and synthetic DNA methodology
• biologically targeted synthesis
• the application of high throughput and combinatorial approaches

We also focus on biophysical chemistry, the development and application of physicochemical techniques to biological systems. This includes mass spectrometry, advanced spectroscopy and microscopy, as applied to proteins, enzymes, DNA, membranes and biosensors.

Experimental & Theoretical Chemical Physics

This is the fundamental study of molecular properties and processes. Areas of expertise include:

• probing molecular structure in the gas phase, clusters and nanoparticles

Oregon Center for Electrochemistry

Leaders in Electrochemical Science and Engineering focusing on Research, Education and Innovation.

Ph.D. Program

The Oregon Center for Electrochemistry supports a rigorous and exciting Ph.D. research program.

There are three paths into the Ph.D. program.

Traditional Ph.D. Track: Students apply to the chemistry (or physics) PhD program. Chemistry PhD students typically do three 11-week research rotations in three different research groups during their first year while serving as graduate teaching assistants and taking coursework relevant to their research interests. PhD students joining OCE laboratories typically help teaching in the electrochemistry graduate program coursework periodically as senior students, but are primarily supported by research grants.

Industry Internship Ph.D. Track: Students apply to the M.S. internship program, completing the 6 months of immersive coursework and 9 month paid industry internship. At any point during or after the M.S. program, students discuss transferring to the Ph.D. program with OCE faculty. Students accepted to the Ph.D. program from the M.S. program do not need to take additional coursework and move directly to a faculty research group on an accelerated Ph.D. timeline. They are typically supported by grant funding, while also helping periodically in the graduate electrochemistry coursework.

External Ph.D. Track: Students apply to the M.S. internship program, completing the 6 months of immersive coursework and 9 month paid industry internship. Student then discuss with their industry or national laboratory supervisor, and OCE faculty, the possibility of earning a Ph.D. while remaining employed external to the University of Oregon. Students commit a portion of their time while employed externally and physically offsite from UO campus to publishable research. PhD thesis committees are established and the student completes all PhD requirements typically remotely, though travel stipends are provided for occasional visits to campus as needed. Students graduate with a PhD after completing a body of published research consistent with the standards in their field of study.  Students on this track are supported financially by the external sponsoring company or national laboratory.

Protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (PCEC) have transformative potential due to its ability to provide alternative sustainable pathways for production of key chemicals using green electricity due to their intermediate operating temperatures of 400°-600°C whilst matching the class-leading efficiencies of higher temperature solid oxide electrochemical cells (SOEC). Moreover, in contrast to SOECs, as steam and H2 are separated into different compartments in PCECs, various hydrogenation reactions can be performed in the H2 compartment within the cell. For instance, electrochemical conversion of N2 to NH3 and CO2 to CO and/or CH4 using only steam as additional feedstock have already been demonstrated using PCECs.

In the ‘SUNSOLr’ public-private partnership project coordinated by the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT) and funded by TKI Energie, we are looking for a PhD candidate to investigate novel routes to selectively produce methanol, and potentially olefins, from CO2 and steam using PCECs, in collaboration with industrial partners Demcon Suster, Nobian, Sasol and RWE. Your principal role in the project will be to design, fabricate, test and analyse tailor-made PCECs, novel reactor concepts and operational strategies for selective CO2 conversion to methanol and olefins. Through this project, you will build up a multi-disciplinary understanding across the domains of solid-state ionics, electrocatalysis, transport phenomena and reactor engineering.

Your profile

• You have a master’s degree in chemical engineering, chemistry, applied physics or a related field.
• You have experience and/or strong interest in hands-on electrochemical cell fabrication, reactor assembly and testing via electrochemical characterisation (i-V, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, MS, GC) and analytical techniques (SEM-EDX, XRD, DRIFTS, Raman, XAS).
• You have experience and/or strong interest in thermodynamic and kinetic analysis, transport phenomena and reactor design.
• You are an excellent team player in an enthusiastic group of scientists and engineers working on a common theme.

ChBE PhD student awarded Quad Fellowship

The Quad Fellowship aims to build connections among the next generation of scientists and technologists by fostering academic excellence and promoting cross-cultural understanding. The award will support Whittaker's research on catalytic phenomena in electrochemical devices such as fuel cells, electrolyzers and batteries. With the expected rapid increase in renewable electricity, Whittaker's research aims to develop rigorous experimental and theoretical frameworks to understand what drives reactivity at electrochemical interfaces and leverage those insights to design superior catalysts for a more sustainable future.

"I am extremely proud to represent Australia as a scientist at this scale," Whittaker said. "I come from a small town in rural Australia, where this career path is relatively uncommon. It excites me to know that my research, which is mostly directed at engineering renewable energy systems, will contribute to the long-term protection of vulnerable rural communities like mine."

Now in its second year, the Quad Fellowship supports exceptional master's and doctoral students pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the United States. Initially supporting students from the four Quad countries, the program has expanded this year to include students from various ASEAN countries.
