OverviewAI-generated summary

Lauren F. Greenlee's research focuses on electrochemical processes for environmental applications, particularly in water purification and wastewater treatment. Her work investigates the removal of nutrients and contaminants from various water sources, including natural wastewater and aquaculture systems. She has explored electrochemical biomass upgrading, such as the degradation of glucose to lactic acid using copper electrodes.

Dr. Greenlee's publications also detail the development and characterization of electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions, including the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This includes studies on iron-nickel alloy films and nickel phosphide-iron oxide core-shell nanocatalysts, examining their structural evolution and electrochemical activity in alkaline media. She has also investigated the recovery of phosphate from wastewater using electrochemical methods, specifically the implications of pulsating anode potential on struvite recovery.

Her research program has received federal funding, including a $379,998 NSF-DFG grant for investigating the operando electronic structure determination of iron and its dynamics in electrooxidation catalysts. Dr. Greenlee collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including László Kékedy‐Nagy, Kristofor R. Brye, Trenton L. Roberts, and Mojtaba Abolhassani. With a h-index of 29 and over 8,500 citations across 225 publications, her work is recognized as highly cited.
