Happy to share my last research contribution from my #PhD guided by @JoaquinResasco and
@DeliaMilliron published in
@ACSEnergyLett! When will we observe cation effects in electrocatalysis? Let's go! 👇🏼 (1/n)

This article is in the @ACSEnergyLett
special issue "The Evolving Landscape of Energy Research: Views from the Editorial Team." I'm grateful for being able to contribute my work to this special issue after years of publishing and reading papers from this awesome journal! (4/4)

On the other hand, over Ag we only see cation effects for hydrogen evolution because it is the only reaction whose operating potential is negative of its PZC range. (3/n)

Excited to kick off a new semester by publishing some NEW research guided by @JoaquinResasco, @DeliaMilliron, and @johnkitchin in @ACSEnergyLett! When will we see cation effects for the oxygen reduction reaction? Let's go! 👇(1/n)

Thank you to my PhD advisors @JoaquinResasco and @DeliaMilliron for all their support and guidance, my collaborators @CMU_ChemE, my three undergraduate researchers who helped me on this project, Nicolas Bueno Ponce, Angel Valles, & Alyssa Uvodich, and everyone @TexasChE!😁(8/8)

Excited to kick off the fall publishing a first-author paper in @J_A_C_S guided by @JoaquinResasco, @DeliaMilliron, and @johnkitchin! How does electrolyte pH affect the oxygen reduction reaction? Let's go!👇

Ultimately, the field sensitivity of kinetically relevant reaction intermediates provides a reasonable explanation for pH effects on the ORR. (7/n)

My contribution was using in situ Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy to experimentally measure catalyst phase transitions during discharge.

[Jay T. Bender @bender_science]

How do catalyst materials degrade under intermittent operation? Check out our new paper, led by @Ruloufo published in #EESJournal @RSC_Energy. @TexasChE @JoaquinResasco @DeliaMilliron @GroupMullins @jaramillogroup

It was a pleasure contributing to developing new equipment and protocols led by @Ruloufo to measure interfacial pH during water electrolysis! Check out my friend's work in @ACSEnergyLett. @JoaquinResasco @GroupMullins @jaramillogroup @TexasChE

@ACSEnergyLett @KamatlabND Best journal ever!

[Jay T. Bender @bender_science]

@RchaGhosh @J_A_C_S This looks awesome! What software did you use to draw this?

[Jay T. Bender @bender_science]

@RchaGhosh Woohoo! Congratulations @RchaGhosh !

[Jay T. Bender @bender_science]

My contribution was using spectroscopic probes to experimentally measure cation-mediated field strength via Vibrational Stark Spectroscopy. What a fantastic learning experience and amazing opportunity to help this interesting work!

[Jay T. Bender @bender_science]

I'm excited to start 2025 by contributing to @j_mcgregor876's publication in @NatureCatalysis guided by @JoaquinResasco studying organic cation effects on non-aqueous CO2 reduction! https://t.co/eymFG5i6Vt
