Professor Biddinger leads the Green Chemistry & Energy Laboratory. The lab uses electrochemical engineering, electrocatalysis and novel electrolytes to address green chemistry and energy applications such as CO₂ electroreduction, electrochemical conversion of biomass, use of ionic liquids as electrolytes in batteries, and battery safety. The lab, located on the third floor of Steinman Hall, is 1350 sq ft of space and equipped to be able to do materials synthesis, reactions, electrochemical experiments, materials characterization and product analyses. Experiments can be performed at ambient conditions or in controlled environments such as in the argon-filled glove box, or in temperature-controlled environmental chambers.
