Evening lecture by Dr. M. de Roo, organized by the Groningse Chemische Kring.

Cleaner chemistry with electricity: electrochemical oxidation reactions

Summary
In this presentation, I will begin with an overview demonstrating the potential of electrochemistry for sustainable chemistry. Afterward, I will elaborate on my research direction: electrochemical oxidation reactions. In our research group, we conduct fundamental research into the interaction between electricity and chemicals using spectroscopic methods, particularly Raman microspectroscopy. Here, I will discuss our recent study of the operation of an electrocatalyst and the lessons learned from it.

About the speaker
My name is Maurits de Roo, and I have been interested in chemistry since childhood.
I believe it is important to develop cleaner and more sustainable chemistry for ourselves and future generations. I am currently completing my PhD research at the University of Groningen in the field of electrochemistry and oxidation catalysis in the research group of Professor Wesley Browne. On behalf of the research group, I would like to tell you about our research, its current research, and our vision for the future.

Invitees are very welcome.
