Professor Alexander Forse leads a research group focused on understanding and improving materials to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to climate change. His ultimate goal is to mitigate the effects of global warming, particularly through the rapid development and deployment of greenhouse gas mitigation technologies. The Forse group specializes in exploring functional behaviors of new materials for CO2 capture and electrochemical energy storage, employing techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, synthetic chemistry, electrochemistry, and computational chemistry. In studying electrochemical CO2 capture, the group aims to unravel molecular level mechanisms that hinder current efficient processes. They also investigate advanced supercapacitors and batteries for renewable energy storage by examining ionic adsorption and diffusion processes within improved materials. Their research notably includes the development of membranes and adsorbent materials for energy-efficient molecular separations. By combining chemical synthesis, spectroscopy, and molecular simulations, the Forse group aspires to establish design principles leading to enhanced energy storage devices and CO2 capture technologies.
