Research
The Boucher lab tackles global energy problems and supports decarbonization efforts by seeking a fundamental understanding of electrochemically driven transformations.
The electrification of chemical transformations at multiple mass scales will enable the widespread integration of renewable energy streams into industrial processes. However, the rational design of new electrosynthetic transformations, of both fuels and complex molecules, remains limited by the challenge of imparting selectivity to the electrode interface. Research in the Boucher Lab focuses on new strategies for controlling selectivity in electrochemical transformations amidst molecular complexity. With electroanalytical measurements as our primary tool, our lab studies the integration of photochemical, interfacial, and biocatalytic methods with electrochemical processes.
