Dr. Abild-Pedersen’s research focuses on efforts to advance understanding in thermal and electrochemical heterogeneous catalysis by developing catalyst design rules. He is particularly interested in fundamental questions of surface bonding trends, structural effects, catalyst stability, and identification of descriptors of surface reactivity.

In JCAP Dr. Abild-Pedersen will focus on linking the catalyst composition and structure with the CO2 reduction electro catalyst performance and use this insight to identify new electrode materials for CO2 reduction.
