We designed a robot to collect CO2RR rate data over a wide range of conditions (30+). Results suggest complex electrocatalytic phenomena like coverage effects & mixed control are prevalent even amongst well-known immobilized metal tetrapyrrole catalysts 👇https://t.co/Vi8YKrfbH4

Wonderful to hear Shelly Diamond give a perspective on the history of Pride throughout the years, at Caltech, and how it’s culminated in the first Caltech/JPL Pride Parade float 🏳️‍🌈

And a special thank you to @emmaelectron and Spencer Delgado for seeing this work across the finish line!
A very fascinating study to cut one's Echem Teeth on 😊

Can thermocatalysts be adapted to impart electrochemical reactivity? @js_zeng electrified thermochemical hydroformylation (HFN) catalysts to develop an electro-HFN system for industrial decarbonization, opening the design space for electrocatalysts. https://t.co/xfxQ6iAeLi

A huge congratulations to our graduate student Michael Yusov for receiving the NSF-GRFP award! 🥳🎉

This will support his incredible efforts in machine learning and high throughput experimentation for Li-mediated N2 reduction! 🧪🤖

Need some weekend reading (maybe on a flight to ACS 🤔)? Now out in @JCatal_J we review electrodes and non-sacrificial anodes for Echem carboxylations! Free to read for the next 50 days! 🤓

Thanks to @racheljbaker17 and Thu Ton for leading this! 💪

Congrats to @wesleykchang @anuktaj2 and Fateme Rezaie for their hard work putting this together!

[Manthiram Lab @ManthiramLab]

INTERested in those solid-electrolyte-INTERphases? 🤔
This complex catalytic microenvironment plays an outsized role in electrochemical Li-mediated N2 reduction, and we're just starting to scratch the surface!

Had a great time last week chatting with some of the women in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the Global Women’s Breakfast hosted by the Queen’s ACS Student Chapter 👩🏼‍🔬

@QuCHEE @QueensChem

[Manthiram Lab @ManthiramLab]

Happy #WomenAndGirlsInScienceDay everyone!

We're proud to highlight our hardworking women in the group, and recognize that we wouldn't be effective, creative, and collaborative if it wasn't for contributions from a diverse pool of researchers 💪👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

One of our favorite traditions - the Lab Birthday!

Celebrating the growth and development of the lab, our wonderful students and postdocs (and PI!). 🎂
Another year in the books, and more fun science to come 🧑‍🔬👩‍🔬🧪

[Manthiram Lab @ManthiramLab]

Our former postdoc & now new faculty at Queen's University @racheljbaker17 is looking for folks!

See the posting below for exciting research ⚡️👇

[Rachel Baker @racheljbaker17]

New year, new Baker lab members! The Baker lab is growing, and we are seeking chemists, chemical engineers and engineering chemists that like to explore complex science and engineering challenges, and have fun doing it. Interested? See the posting for how to apply!

Congratulations to our new lab member Clara Seo for being awarded the CEMI 1st Year Graduate Student Fellowship!

(CEMI = Center for Environmental Microbial Interactions)

[Manthiram Lab @ManthiramLab]

@chung_minju's latest now in @ScienceMagazine!

We've demonstrated electrochemical activation of H2O for propylene epoxidation using PdPtOx catalyst, w/ >60% efficiency under mild conditions, promising low-footprint production of commodity chemicals. 🧪⚡️

It was a pleasure to write a News&Views article on Fu et al.'s recent @NatureMaterials paper!

Inspired by Ca-batteries, they demonstrated Echem N2 reduction using Ca instead of Li, opening exciting possibilities in this space! Congrats to the authors 🥳

Our annual holiday party started with a Secret Santa gift exchange and ended with our all-you-can-eat sushi dinner tradition! 🍣🎄

What a great way to wind down the year 😊
