Center for Electrochemical Dynamics and Reactions on Surfaces (CEDARS)
CEDARS studies how electrons and protons move and how bonds form and break on the surface during the process of producing hydrogen from water. We combine precise methods for growing materials with various techniques like scattering and spectroscopy to examine the intermediate steps involved. We also use computer modeling based on fundamental principles. Our team is diverse and comes from different fields of study, including materials science, chemistry, and computational science.

Tracking Water as It Reacts on an Oxide Surface
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) imaging of the RuO2-water interface shows the evolution of surface water during the water oxidation reaction. This achievement is unlocked by the advancement in AFM and charged surface modeling.
