Robert E. Warburton's research focuses on the chemistry of electrode surfaces, particularly how electric fields and proton transfer reactions influence catalytic processes used in energy conversion and storage, such as hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, and fuel cells. Much of this work combines computational modeling with electrochemical experiments to understand reaction mechanisms at the atomic scale. The work is relevant to developing better batteries, fuel cells, and catalysts for converting CO2 into useful chemicals.
