Working in the area of energy-efficient production of H2 via water electrolysis (WE) for a over decade, we have set our priorities now to make the whole process of WE lucrative, catalysts used thereby affordable, and the methods deployed to screen those catalysts reliable. Our specific interests are in water-small molecules co-electrolysis, developing advanced non-precious metals-based electrocatalysts for energy conversion, and revamping ages old electroanalytical techniques for achieving better precision and accuracy in the results reported.
