History to the Group
When joining the North-West University in 2004, Professor Cobus Kriek established the PGM Chemistry Group having moved to the NWU from The Council for Mineral Technology (Mintek). The initial research research focus was very much geared towards the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) and could be summarised as focussing on “electron transfer to and…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/background-research
Background to the Research
As the research focus expanded, the group was later renamed the Electrochemistry for Energy & Environment (EEE) Group. We are currently interested in the research and development of metal-based electrocatalysts and photo-electrocatalysts for their application in electrolysers and dye-sensitized solar cells. These materials include extended…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/current-research-focus
Current Research Focus
Our key research focus areas include electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photo-electrocatalysis. Electrocatalysis Electrolysers and fuel cells employ electrocatalysts at both the cathode and anode, which in the majority of cases employ a single platinum group metal (PGM), a combination of PGMs, or a combination of PGMs and base metals…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/research-leaders-and-publication-links
