Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Prashant Acharya's research focuses on the development and characterization of novel electrocatalysts for energy conversion applications, particularly for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). His work investigates the influence of material composition and structure on catalytic activity and stability in alkaline electrolytes. Acharya has published on FexNi100−x films, exploring how their electrochemical active surface area impacts HER performance. He has also studied the role of coordination environments and phase structures in nanoparticle catalysts for OER, including Fe-incorporated Ni(OH)2 and nickel phosphide-iron oxide core-shell nanostructures.

Further research includes optimizing binders for high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and examining the removal of trichloroethylene by various carbon materials and FeNi-carbon composites. Acharya has a record of 22 publications with 354 citations and an h-index of 8. He has collaborated with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Lauren F. Greenlee, Jingyi Chen, Ryan Manso, and László Kékedy‐Nagy.
