Niall Mangan, Linsey Seitz Receive Seed Grant from Trienens Institute for Sustainability and Energy
In this project, Mangan and Seitz will experimentally validate and theoretically enhance their model of electrocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide
The Department of Engineering Sciences and Applied Mathematics' Niall Mangan and Northwestern Engineering colleague Linsey Seitz received a seed grant from Paula M. Trienens Institute for Sustainability and Energy for “Enabling Sustainable Chemistry through Multi-Scale Experimental and Modeling Analyses of Electrocatalytic Reactors.”
Widespread adoption of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, coupled with electrocatalysis, have the potential to transform our vast chemical industry into a sustainable, non-toxic process. In this project, Mangan and Seitz will experimentally validate and theoretically enhance their model of electrocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide.
Mangan is an assistant professor of engineering sciences and applied mathematics, and Seitz is an assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering. Both are faculty affiliates of the Trienens Institute.
