CABES, the Center for Alkaline Based Energy Solutions aims to achieve a detailed understanding of the structure and dynamics of electrocatalysis in alkaline media in fuel cell and electrolyzer systems. At UTEP, our focus will be on the development of novel single and cluster atoms non-precious catalyst via the rotating disk slurry electrodeposition technique and galvanostatic displacement reactions. The novel catalysts will be used for the ammonia oxidation reaction in alkaline media and in ammonia alkaline fuel cells. Our studies will allow us to determine what factors govern ammonia oxidation electrocatalysis in alkaline media for sustainable energy production.
