Research Description
Dr. Colin Oloman’s research is concerned with the exploration, design and development of novel electrochemical reactors for electrosynthesis and power generation. The work typically involves experiments from the bench (mA) to small prototype (100 A) level, along with reactor modeling based on material, energy and voltage (charge) balances.
Dr. Oloman’s work is presently focused on the potential for coupling electrosynthesis with electrochemical power generation in carbon neutral “regenerative” fuel cell cycles. The aim here is to develop improved and/or simplified electrochemical reactors for application in new energy systems that reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
