Nanomaterial Catalysts for
Sustainable Energy Technologies
FACILITIES
Electrochemical CO2 Reduction Catalysis and Device IntegrationStudents in the Higgins group have access to many state of the art nanomaterials characterization facilities available at McMaster University, along with advanced experimental equipment within the Higgins laboratory. Information on facilities and equipment is provided here. Combined, these tools enable the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical activity testing and device integration of nanomaterial catalysts for sustainable electrochemical energy technologies.
