- Anode and/or cathode electrodes for alkaline fuel cells (hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)),
- Hydrogenation of nitroarenes (such as the synthesis of anilines and cyclohexylamines),
- Reductive amination and nitrile hydrogenation,
- Hydrogenolysis and hydrodeoxygenation of aryl ethers,
- Hydrogenation of phenolics and aromatics,
- Sabatier reaction (CO/CO₂ methanation),
- Furanics upgrading,
- Hydrodechlorination of chlorinated organics,
- Hydrolysis of ammonia borane, sodium borohydride, and other chemical hydrides to generate hydrogen gas,
- Urea oxidation reaction,
- Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensing
