Journal Article
Thangamuthu, M., Kohlrausch, E. C., Li, M., Speidel, A., Clare, A. T., Plummer, R., …Alves Fernandes, J. (2024). From scrap metal to highly efficient electrodes: harnessing the nanotextured surface of swarf for effective utilisation of Pt and Co for hydrogen production. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ta00711e

Hydrogen is considered to be the key element to achieving climate neutrality, leading to a massive demand for electrocatalysts. This work explores the transformation of metal waste into active and stable electrode materials for water splitting by mod...

Synergy of nanocrystalline carbon nitride with Cu single atom catalyst leads to selective photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol (2024)
Journal Article
LeMercier, T. M., Thangamuthu, M., Kohlrausch, E. C., Chen, Y., Stoppiello, C. T., Fay, M. W., …Khlobystov, A. N. (2024). Synergy of nanocrystalline carbon nitride with Cu single atom catalyst leads to selective photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to methanol.

Carbon nitride (C3N4) possesses both a band gap in the visible range and a low-lying conduction band potential, suitable for water splitting and CO2 reduction reactions (CO2RR). Yet, bulk C3N4 (b-C3N4) suffers from structural disorder leading to slug...
