Research in my laboratory provides tools for, and insights into two technologically important problems: energy conversion and drug design. Aqueous conversion of renewable fuel sources to hydrogen can be performed with transition metal and solid state catalysts. Such aqueous reforming generates hydrogen-rich fuel streams that are contaminated with carbon monoxide. We develop reforming catalysts that selectively oxidize CO, and fuel cell electrodes tolerant to CO.
