James Mayer

James Mayer is the Charlotte Fitch Roberts Professor of Chemistry at Yale University, affiliated with the Department of Chemistry. His research spans inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, energy, nanochemistry, physical chemistry, and organic chemistry. His work focuses on redox reactions, particularly proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes, with applications in fuel cells, solar fuels, and bioenergetics. Mayer's group investigates PCET mechanisms, electrocatalysts, and metal oxides, while also exploring interdisciplinary approaches in materials chemistry and interfacial charge transfer. He is a member of the Yale faculty since 2014 and maintains a profile page at https://chem.yale.edu/profile/james-mayer. His contact information is james.mayer@yale.edu.

James Mayer is the Charlotte Fitch Roberts Professor of Chemistry at Yale University, specializing in inorganic chemistry, nano- and interfacial chemistry, physical organic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and proton-coupled electron transfer. His research explores the thermodynamics and mechanisms of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions, with applications in electrocatalysis, oxygen reduction, and biomimetic oxidations. Mayer's work also investigates metal-ligand multiple bonds, metal-oxygen interactions, and the role of PCET in hydrogen atom transfer and C-H bond oxidations. His studies contribute to understanding interfacial charge transfer and the design of molecular catalysts for artificial photosynthesis and sustainable energy technologies.
