News from the research group of Edwin Otten at the Stratingh Institute for Chemistry, University of Groningen

[Prof Hevia 🇺🇦 @EvaHeviaGroup]

Getting ready to start @EuCOMC2025 please note that all updates on the conference will be posted at our #bluesky account @Eucomc2025.bsky.social

[Otten Group UGroningen @GroupOtten]

Check out our preprint on @ChemRxiv, where we show how degradation of 'innocent' hexafluorophosphate salts limits the long-term cycling stability in non-aqueous RFBs. A battery with engineered bipolar electrolyte has fade rate of only 0.06% per day! https://t.co/xPkWiBFbnm

[Qilei Song @QileiSong]

Our new study is now online in @Nature. We report high-selectivity ion-exchange membranes for redox flow batteries. A great teamwork led by @anqi_wang521, with contribution from collaborators @cebreakwell @JelfsChem @bizia79 @brittonMRI @AdReNa_Lab

[Antonio Reina @antonio_reina6]

In the current issue of @ChemCatChem you can check my contribution in collaboration with @ItzelGuerreroR5 about supported CoNPs for hydrogenation reactions. A great work from our students @RodrigoCarmona_ @metztlirod1324 and @ITPD_ at @quimica_unam

Great time in Groningen! Claudia was invited to give a talk at the Stratingh Institute @StratinghInst Thankful for the opportunity to meet excellent scientists and present our research on #earthabundant #photocatalysts for #CO2 #reduction Looking forward to future collaborations

[Otten Group UGroningen @GroupOtten]

@FLPchemist Congrats Doug, that's fantastic news!

[Otten Group UGroningen @GroupOtten]

Thanks for a fantastic visit to Mexico City! Great to catch up with an old friend @ItzelGuerreroR5, meet Liliana's co-supervisor (Dr. Noé Zuñiga) in real life, and make new friends @quimica_unam and @iquimicaunam!

[Otten Group UGroningen @GroupOtten]

Congrats to Liliana (@Liliana_CFlores) for a great presentation and defense of her PhD thesis. A very successful double doctorate between @StratinghInst/@univgroningen and @iquimicaunam!

[Facultad de Química UNAM @quimica_unam]

En esta conferencia, hablaremos de cómo los radicales orgánicos bipolares, unas moléculas altamente reactivas, contribuyen al diseño y la eficiencia de las baterías de flujo redox simétricas.
¡Te esperamos!

[Instituto de Química @iquimicaunam]

Hoy, en el auditorio del #IQUNAM, el Dr. Edwin Otten de @univgroningen, presentó su seminario "Redox-Activefl formazanate ligands in coordination chemistry and catalysis"

[Remco Havenith @RHavenith]

We are looking for a PhD student! The PhD student will work in valence bond theory combined with quantum Monte Carlo techniques. See for more information: https://t.co/jo1i7PbFTQ

[Otten Group UGroningen @GroupOtten]

Thanks to the hard work of the moving team and all Otten group members (pictured here on the last day in NB4), we're ready to do chemistry in the Feringa Building! @StratinghInst @univgroningen

[Otten Group UGroningen @GroupOtten]

We're packing! Just a few days left in the old chemistry labs in Nijenborgh 4 before we settle into the brand new Feringa Building.

[Moniek Tromp @moniek_tromp]

We celebrated the Dutch Catalysis community abd the 'strong shoulders' we are standing on!

[University of Groningen @univgroningen]

Adri Minnaard (@StratinghInst @ScienceLinX) wint samen met Ildiko van Rhijn (@UniUtrecht) en Branch Moody (@harvardmed) de Ammodo Science Award! 🎈👏

Het drietal gebruikt de prijs voor de verdere ontwikkeling van tests en vaccins tegen #tuberculose 💉
