Excited to co-organize, with Prof. Zihao Zhang (UTK), ACS GC&E 2026 symposium session “Advanced Catalysis for Renewable Carbon Conversion” in San Antonio (June 15–18, 2026). Abstract deadline: Feb 9, 2026. Conference website: https://t.co/SQ5qPSfWrS

@AjayMallia @sermacs2024 @AmerChemSociety @cenmag It was indeed a big success with lots of attendees. It felt like the National meeting in regard of its size

@catalysis_eth @angew_chem Very true. Cover arts should be “artistic”

@yanggroupucb @YaoYang639 @FeijooJu @ChenChubai @NatureCatalysis Thanks for sharing! Interesting work.

[Yang Group - UC Berkeley @yanggroupucb]

Our latest work by @YaoYang639, @FeijooJu, Marc (Mavrikakis group at UW Madison), and @ChenChubai on #operando probing dynamic migration of copper carbonyl during #electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is finally out in @NatureCatalysis! https://t.co/YHlSstvIog

We are excited to host Prof. Weixin Huang as our chemistry seminar speaker on June 12th.

Structure is the secret.

In today’s ACS Nano perspective, Chad Mirkin and a team of scientific leaders explain how carefully engineered nanomedicines could make treatments safer, smarter, and more effective.

It has been a debate about what valence state of Cu is responsible for the rate-determining C-C coupling step. By combining well-defined nanocatalysts with Cu+ as-synthesized, in-operando XAS and computational study, we shed some light on this topic. The Cu+/Cu0 interface rocks!

[Junrui Li @JunruiLi]

Our work showing the valence state of Cu sites for CO2 to ethanol conversion has been officially published!

@prof_wiley Maybe they should also work on cooking robots.

A short yet fun event of ACS on campus @AUCConsortium just curious how many boxes you can check for the bingo game. I got 8😅

@ZihaoZhang10 @catalysis_eth congrats Zihao!

@AjayMallia @sermacs2024 @AmerChemSociety Congrats to the winners!

[Junrui Li @JunruiLi]

Really enjoyed my visit at GSU. I learnt a lot from Binghe’s research on carbon monoxide as a therapeutic agent (mind-blowing), Giovanni’s research dehydrogenase enzyme and many others. Very modern chemistry buildings and very interesting people.
