Dr. Gondal's projects address the limitations of water splitting by utilizing alcohol oxidation-assisted electrocatalytic water splitting. This innovative method replaces the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with methanol oxidation, resulting in increased efficiency for hydrogen production.

His team is also developing extensively materials modified by advanced pulsed lasers for the electrochemical and photochemical conversion of CO₂ into high-value hydrocarbons (methanol, ethanol, and formic acid).

Location: Building 28, 1rd floor, Lab 158

• TRL Level: 3-4 
• Capabilities:

1. Working on the large-sized locally fabricated electrolyzers for methanol (hydrocarbon produced locally in abundance) oxidation-coupled energy-efficient green hydrogen production (approximately 24 liters of H2 gas per day)
2. To increase the amount of hydrogen (around 250 liters/day), we are working on the multi-stack electrolyzer
3. Developed the low-cost NiCo-based benchmark catalyst (instead of a costly Pt electrode) for hydrogen production
4. Advanced instrumentation for physical and electrochemical characterizations
