Haiqiang Deng’s research interests include electrochemistry at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) or the liquid/liquid interface. This includes the thermodynamics and kinetics of ion transfer across the ITIES, and energy-related reactions at the polarizable ITIES: oxygen reduction reaction, hydrogen evolution reaction, and photo-induced electron transfer reactions. Haiqiang is also interested in microelectrode voltammetry and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). His current scientific interests in the Bard lab include the single-nanoparticle/molecule and emulsion electrochemistry by the collision technique and nano-electrode based SECM.
