Dr. Patel’s research focuses on the development and designing of efficient, robust, and economically sustainable water oxidation and CO2 reduction catalysts based on earth-abundant metals that can be incorporated into a molecular assembly (Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs)) or microscopic structure (Photosensitizer-catalyst assembly) or immobilized onto an electrode surface (Photoanode or photocathodes) for engineered “sunlight-to-fuel” energy solutions.
