Ben Indeglia (CBE) successfully defended his thesis proposal exploring catalytic transport in Bipolar Membranes (BPMs). BPMs provide a sustainable source of hydrogen at the heterojunction of two oppositely charged ionomers sandwiching a nanoparticle catalyst layer. The stability and morphology of this system are underexplored, allowing Ben to focus on nanoparticle diffusion and catalyst layer evolution and how this relates to the lifecycle of BPM systems. His committee members are Profs. Tom Mallouk (Chemistry), Aleks Vojvodic (CBE), and John Crocker (CBE).
Congratulations on a successful thesis proposal, Ben Indeglia!
