[Princeton Chemistry @PrincetonChem]

The @Stache_Lab has discovered that a black pigment present in many plastics drives depolymerization. Their latest two papers, in @ACSPublications and @J_A_C_S, showcase the potential.

Congrats Hanning, Sewon, Liat, Erik, Erin!

My lab's next paper is out @angew_chem!

Disorder activates graphitic carbon for echem rxns—but can we distinguish it in situ?

Varying disorder shows different electric-field IR responses!
