About Research
In Professor Haram's lab, pioneering research is at the forefront of advancing energy conversion technologies. The focus of the lab includes the synthesis of perovskites for solar applications and the development of metal catalysts for critical reactions such as carbon dioxide reduction, oxygen reduction, hydrogen evolution, and methanol oxidation. The lab's research is dedicated to probing the fundamental aspects of these catalysts to improve their efficiency and performance beyond the current state-of-the-art technologies.
A key innovation in the lab involves the use of cyclic voltammetry to investigate the bandgap of perovskites, providing deeper insights compared to traditional techniques like UPS (Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy). This approach enables a more nuanced understanding of how these materials can be optimized for better solar energy conversion.
