😃 After winning and 😃☺️ after losing.

❤️ Alex Eala 🇵🇭❤️

[Rafa Nadal Academy @rnadalacademy]

We can’t stop crying 🥹

Alex Eala 🇵🇭 stuns World No. 2 Swiatek 6-2, 7-5 to reach the @MiamiOpen semifinals!

[Rafa Nadal @RafaelNadal]

Congratulations Alex! What a great win for you and for 🇵🇭! 👏🏻

[Rafa Nadal Academy @rnadalacademy]

Once again… THE BIGGEST WIN OF HER CAREER! 😍

Alex Eala defeats another Grand Slam Champion!! She defeats Keys in straight sets and is into the final 16 of the @MiamiOpen! Mabuhay 🇵🇭!

At today's #FrontiersForum Deep Dive, Prof Kazunari Domen outlined water-splitting advances to create green hydrogen, a cheap & scalable alternative to fossil fuels. Thanks to our panel @CMPelicano, Jonas Moberg @gh2org & Diana Sannino.

Video coming soon!

[Frontiers in Science @FrontScience]

Scaling photocatalytic hydrogen production requires improved efficiencies, investments in sustainable energy infrastructure, & stringent safety & environmental standards.

-Markus Antonietti & @CMPelicano of @MpiciPotsdam in their viewpoint, published in Frontiers in Science ⬇️

[Frontiers in Science @FrontScience]

A hub of expert articles outlines next steps for deploying solar water splitting to produce H₂ and other green, renewable fuels.

Authors include Kazunari Domen @ShinshuUni @UTokyo_News_en, Takashi Hisatomi of @JST_info, @ArdoShane of @UCIrvine & @CMPelicano of @MpiciPotsdam ⬇️

@jeffreypauperez Thanks!

[Christian Mark Pelicano @CMPelicano]

Excited to share our new Advanced Materials paper:
https://t.co/kcvCqdVEBu
We present a strategy to enhance the photocatalytic H2O2 activity of ionic carbon nitrides by inducing lattice distortion.

Congrats Haijian and Joko! 👏

It was a pleasure to meet with a delegation from Singapore’s @ASTARsg to discuss promising opportunities for exchange & collaboration.
Many thanks to Dr. Peter Nagler & Prof. Andy Hor for their visit & to @PotsdamScience for illustrating why our campus is ideal for research.

[Christian Mark Pelicano @CMPelicano]

Glad to share that my minireview on cocatalyst engineering for photocatalytic overall H2O splitting has been featured as the front cover in the June issue of @Appl_Research journal.
