This project is part of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for Chemical Innovation Solar Project, focusing on solar powered electrolysis of water for fuel production. The research team will be designing functional membranes for photoelectrochemical cells that are both protonically and electronically conducting. These membranes will be assembled via an electrostatic layer-by-layer deposition process, which has been shown to generate nanoscale integrated thin film composites capable of creating a continuous conducting network.
