معرفی
Amanda Schramm Petersen is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on atomic-scale electrocatalysis with emphasis on CO2 reduction, hydrogen evolution, and oxygen reduction reactions. She maintains an active research profile with publications spanning experimental and computational electrochemistry.
Her research interests center on electrochemical interface phenomena at atomic resolution. Key areas include cation/anion effects in non-aqueous electrolytes, surface strain engineering in nanocatalysts, and computational modeling of reaction mechanisms. Her work bridges fundamental surface science with applied energy conversion technologies, particularly for sustainable fuel production and carbon utilization.
Analysis of her eight publications (2020-2025) reveals strong focus on electrocatalyst design for energy applications. Her research demonstrates expertise in both ab initio simulations and experimental electrocatalysis, with recurring themes of interfacial engineering, reaction mechanism elucidation, and catalyst stability optimization. The 2025 Nature Catalysis paper on cation-mediated CO2 reduction represents her most impactful recent work.
Dr. Petersen's academic foundation includes a 2023 PhD thesis titled The Electrochemical Interface at the Atomic-Scale from the University of Copenhagen. Her collaborative network spans multiple international institutions, with frequent co-authorship with Professor Jens K. Nørskov and Professor Jan Rossmeisl's research groups.
