Reihe: Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials

This book provides a comprehensive platform for the research, scientific and educational communities working on electrocatalysis. It covers water electrolysis from different fields of catalysis research, deals with the fundamentals and critically discusses the precise and correct use of evaluating parameters and their calculation for a fair evaluation. Readers find an analysis to probe the origin of different bottlenecks in water electrolysis and scientific methods to enhance the electrode selectivity with high intrinsic activity, effective mass and electron transfer ability, abundant active sites with super hydrophilicity-aerophobicity characteristics and structural, mechanical and chemical stability with high corrosion resistance.

Dr. Tanveer ul Haq received his Ph.D. in sustainable energy from Texas A&M University, USA. He completed his MS in Chemistry from the Lahore University of Management and Science (LUMS), Lahore. He currently serves as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Sharjah, UAE. His research primarily focuses on the electronic, surface, and structural engineering of electrocatalysts for direct seawater electrolysis, decoupled and tandem water electrolysis, and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). He is keen on utilizing advanced electronic and spectroscopic characterization tools to explore surface and structural defects in catalysts, study phase transformations during electrocatalysis, and identify active centers for electrochemical reactions.
