Carbon dioxide capture from the point of generation or the ambient environment is broadly recognized to play a key role in climate change mitigation. However, the incumbent methods are energy-intensive and fossil fuel-dependent. My research program aims to revolutionize the technological landscape for carbon capture by developing an entirely new mechanistic platform powered by renewable electricity. My team will achieve our goal via an interdisciplinary platform integrating synthetic chemistry, materials science, electrochemical engineering, advanced characterizations, and atomistic simulation. Our innovations will lay the foundation for low-cost, durable, and scalable carbon capture processes critically needed for a net-zero/negative carbon economy.
