About

The Mullins research group (Materials Chemistry for Energy) is studying the chemistry of nano-structured surfaces with goals of learning more about catalysis, the growth and characterization of nanostructured films with applications in photoelectrocatalysis for the production of fuels from sunlight, and the discovery and characterization of electrode materials for lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries.
