Research objective

My PhD project, supervised by Pr. Elena SAVINOVA (ICPEES), Dr. Jean-Jacques GALLET (LCP-MR, Paris), Dr. Alexandr OSHCHEPKOV (ICPEES), and Dr. Tristan ASSET (ICPEES) aims to study the evolution of the local reaction environment during the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) at the interface between a nickel electrode, a promising material for fuel cell anodes, and alkaline electrolyte. The variations of local properties of the electrode-electrolyte interface (pH, surface state of the catalyst) will be probed by operando spectroscopies, such as confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS).
