Electrochemical Surface Science

The Domke group aims to obtain atomistic insights into (electro)chemical processes at solid/liquid interfaces, such as catalyst-site reactivity, molecular redox-activity, and surface- or pore-confinement of solvent species. Such fundamental knowledge is quintessential for the strategic engineering of (re)active interfaces for functional and sustainable energy conversion device components. To achieve this aim, we develop and employ state-of-the-art operando nearfield and nonlinear spectro-microscopies that provide unique insights into the electronic, geometric and chemical properties of model electrochemical interfaces.
