Professor Jenny Yang’s research interests include the discovery and study of inorganic electrocatalysts for the generation and utilization of chemical fuels. Current and prior research areas include oxygen activation, hydrogen production and oxidation, carbon dioxide reduction, and electrochemical carbon dioxide capture and concentration. These studies have primarily focused on the effect of bio-inspired secondary coordination sphere interactions, including the impact of proton relays on proton-coupled electron transfer and the effect of thermochemical properties on catalytic activity.
