The Seitz Lab

Working at the interface of electrocatalysis and spectroscopy to understand and optimize active sites for applications in renewable energy and sustainability.

[Northwestern @NorthwesternU]

Hydrogen is a promising fuel for renewable energy, but producing it is currently carbon intensive & expensive.

Enter water electrolysis—the process of breaking apart water molecules using electricity—& a new catalyst design from Northwestern researchers.
