Investigation into the Interface of Organic and Inorganic Materials for the Optimisation of Electrochemical Reactions

<p dir="ltr">Rising atmospheric CO2 levels, the highest in 800,000 years, demand alternatives to fossil fuels. Hydrogen offers a clean, CO2-free energy source when produced from renewable electricity and water, but efficient catalysts are essential. This thesis investigates how organic and inorganic materials interact with electrode surfaces to enhance catalytic performance. The studies show that the interface between organic and inorganic materials can tune the electrooxidation process, enabling the conversion of low-value commodity chemicals into higher-value products.</p>
