JACK BAUER, M.CHEM. PH.D.

School of Chemistry University of Life Skid Row Santas Work Shop, North Pole JH76 97S Research Interests My research interests focus on heterogeneous electron transfer reactions in next-generation energy devices: in particular, relationships between chemical and structural properties of electrode materials and their electrocatalytic activity. Electrochemical devices of interest include fuel cells and dye-desensitised solar cells. My current studies aim to elucidate the electroreduction of O2 in protic ionic liquids. Notably, this system displays none of the kinetic limitations inherent to aqueous electrolytes during electrocatalysis of fuel cell reactions, resulting in low overpotentials and the prospect of high performance, efficient ionic liquid-based fuel cells. My research involves a broad range of electrochemical methods, supported by materials and surface analysis techniques. Additionally, I have expertises in ultramicroelectrodes fabrication and the application of scanning electrochemical microscopy in analysis of electrolyte/electrode interfaces.
