Nichols Lab Awarded Two Peter Wall
Research Awards!
December 9th, 2024
Our group has received two Peter Wall Legacy Awards to pursue collaborative work related to BC's clean energy future.
​
In one project, we'll be collaborating with Prof. Alex Uhl (UBCO) and Prof. Eric Lees (UBC); in another, we'll be working with Profs. Kiana Amini and Qingshi Tu (both from UBC).

RESEARCH AREAS
We are an inorganic research group with interests in the preparation and interrogation of molecular and interfacial electrocatalysts for sustainable energy applications. We draw conceptual inspiration from enzyme active sites to design efficient, selective, and tunable synthetic catalysts. We use cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry, time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy, and SEIRA spectroscopy to gain a deeper understanding of relevant governing parameters and mechanisms.
