Research interests:

• Inorganic synthesis: synthesis of Pt/C, PtM/C and PtM₁M₂/C (M_1/2 = Ni, Cu, Co, Ag, Ni, Au) catalysts by wet-synthesis techniques, post-treatment of catalysts.
• Study of structure of the Pt/C and PtM/C materials by XRD, TEM, SEM and TGA/DSC techniques.
• Investigation of stability and catalytic activity of Pt-based materials in oxygen electro reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR).
• Electrochemical techniques: voltammetry techniques (Cyclic Voltammetry, Linear Sweep Voltammetry), Chronoamperometry, Chronopotentiometry, Pulse current electrodeposition on stationary and rotating disc electrodes.
• Measurement of electrochemical active surface area (CO-stripping, H_ads/des).
• Determination of kinetic parameters of oxygen electroreduction reaction.
• Electrochemical data processing, analysis and interpretation.
• Practical experience on different potentiostats WaveDriver 20 (Pine Instruments, Inc., USA) and VersaSTAT3 (Princeton Applied Research, USA).
• Work at the test station (FC-LAB).
