Paul Duchesne is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Queen's University. His research focuses on heterogeneous catalysis, emphasizing the development of novel catalyst materials utilizing inexpensive, Earth-abundant elements. His work is crucial in the field of sustainable energy generation, particularly for renewable fuels, which offer high energy density and long-term stability for energy storage solutions. Duchesne's group employs in situ X-ray spectroscopy techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), to understand catalyst behavior under realistic operating conditions. By investigating the function of these materials, his aim is to contribute to the advancement of the next generation of heterogeneous catalysts.
