Erik Christensen

Erik Christensen is a Senior Researcher at the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research centers on electrochemical materials and energy conversion technologies, with a focus on developing sustainable energy solutions.

Research Interests: Christensen specializes in:

• Electrolyser engineering and electrocatalyst design
• Solid acid electrolysis systems
• CO₂ conversion to fuels (e.g., methanol)
• High-pressure/temperature electrochemical processes
• Tantalum and transition metal-based materials

Publication Trends: Recent work (2022-2025) emphasizes electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production, CO₂ valorization, and advanced electrolyzer materials under extreme conditions. Key themes include platinum-alternative catalysts and pressurized electrolysis for industrial applications.

Research Supervision: Has advised PhD students including Kraglund M.R. on alkaline electrolyser systems. Contributes to 22 projects, notably the ongoing 'Noble Free' initiative for noble-metal-free electrolyzers.
