Title: Self-supported high entropy materials as robust water splitting electrocatalysts, optimising platinum group metals utilization
Dr. Jonathan Ruiz Esquius obtained his PhD at the Cardiff Catalysis Institute, at Cardiff University (UK). His work focuses on the design of nanomaterials to aid in the energetic transition towards renewable fuels, with special interest in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the carbon dioxide hydrogenation. After working as research assistant at Cardiff University he moved as a research fellow at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (Portugal). Later, he acquired a ComFuturo research fellowship at the INCAR-CSIC, where is currently working as a principal investigator within the project "Nanoparticulate high entropy materials as low-loading Ir/Ru oxygen evolution catalysts in acid media".
