My name is Ritika Gaur, and I am currently engaged in research focused on the synthesis of organic-inorganic transition metal complexes to explore their electrochemical activities. Renewable energy resources are increasingly recognized as the most sustainable alternatives to carbon-based fossil fuels. However, their intermittent availability presents a major hurdle for their widespread implementation. In this context, hydrogen has emerged as a potential game-changer due to its clean energy profile and high efficiency. Despite its advantages, hydrogen production remains energy-intensive, necessitating the use of catalysts to lower reorganization energy and enhance reaction kinetics. In our laboratory, my research is dedicated to advancing the electrochemical production of hydrogen from solutions, a critical step towards realizing sustainable energy systems. We focus on the design and development of transition metal-based molecular catalysts that imitate the catalytic mechanisms of natural enzymes. These catalysts are engineered to lower activation energy, accelerate reaction rates, and optimize hydrogen generation processes. By studying their structural and electronic properties, we aim to improve their efficiency and stability under operational conditions. This work not only enhances our understanding of molecular catalysis but also contributes to addressing the energy demands of a carbon-neutral future. Through innovative approaches, we strive to make hydrogen product dedicate energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, positioning it as a cornerstone of renewable energy technologies.
