Congratulations to Marisa Ketkaew, a postdoctoral researcher, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chularat Wattanakit, on her recent publication in Microchimica Acta
Her work, titled âActivity screening of PtâCeOâ gradient films prepared by bipolar electrochemistry for electrooxidation reactionsâ, showcases the use of bipolar electrochemistry to fabricate PtâCeOâ gradient films for efficient benzyl alcohol oxidation. The research introduces a green and versatile method for catalyst optimization and visualizes local catalytic activity using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). This promising approach paves the way for advanced electrocatalytic applications in organic synthesis and energy conversion.The team gratefully acknowledges the contributions of co-authors Getnet Kassahun, Nashwan Hussein Ali, Patrick Garrigue, SĂ©bastien Bonhommeau, Laurent Bouffier, Alexander Kuhn, and Dodzi Zigah, along with support from VISTEC, University of Bordeaux, and IC2MP at UniversitĂ© de Poitiers
