William E. Mustain

William Mustain is a Professor at the Chemical Engineering department of the University of South Carolina. His research group called Mustain Laboratory for Electrocatalysts and Fuels (m∙leaf) deals with the design, characterization and implementaton of electroactive materials in electrochemical systems. They use a wide variety of electrochemical and characterization techniques to explore chemistry-property and structure-property relationships, which allow them to propose next generation materials with a high level of success. In addition, these relationships help to advance the fundamental understanding of electrochemical processes and they use that knowledge to develop critical components of the 21^st century energy portfolio - including batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, reactors for electrochemical synthesis, and systems for CO₂ separation and utilization.
