The performance of solid composite electrodes is closely tied to their microstructure. By strategically ‘softening’ solid electrolytes and ‘hardening’ redox materials, we show the relative hardness can be reversed to form favorable microstructure. https://t.co/WQJI95PD2L

Check out our paper on developing isoindigos as redox-active sorbents for carbon capture, where we found that intramolecular hydrogen bonding can break the scaling relationship between redox potential and CO2 binding affinity! https://t.co/yKLfwOV7CH

[Yan Yao @YanYao2]

@yayuan_liu @JHU_ChemBE Yayuan, maybe some redox molecules we developed for batteries could be useful. We should chat!

[Yan Yao @YanYao2]

Great collaboration with @shaffer_lab for this internal funded work. Congrats to first author Alaeddine and @ErinSPicton
