History to the Group
2023-07-04 When joining the North-West University in 2004, Professor Cobus Kriek established the PGM Chemistry Group having moved to the NWU from The Council for Mineral Technology (Mintek). The initial research research focus was very much geared towards the…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/background-research
Background to the Research
2023-07-04 As the research focus expanded, the group was later renamed the Electrochemistry for Energy & Environment (EEE) Group. We are currently interested in the research and development of metal-based electrocatalysts and photo-electrocatalysts for their…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/current-research-focus
Current Research Focus
2023-07-04 Our key research focus areas include electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photo-electrocatalysis. Electrocatalysis Electrolysers and fuel cells employ electrocatalysts at both the cathode and anode, which in the majority of cases employ a single…https://natural-sciences.nwu.ac.za/electrochemistry-energy-environment-eee-group/research-leaders-and-publication-links
