My research focus is the application of ionic liquids to electrochemical devices, in pursuit of adopting new functional materials that accelerate our transition to net zero. A primary aim is to understand the potential for protic and polymerised ionic liquids to add value as components in hydrogen-related technologies, such as fuel cells and electrolysers. We use chemical synthesis, advanced characterisation techniques (e.g., X-ray computed tomography, micro-Raman spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and multiphysics simulation to probe interfaces in electrochemical environments.
