🏆ISSAC-4 Singapore was a blast thanks to an amazing organization by @Ning_Yan_Lab I had the pleasure to co-chair it with him and Prof Tao Zhang. 104 participants from 18 countries for four days of vibrant exchange
📢ISSAC-5 will be held in Switzerland in 2027. Stay tuned!

It is 10 years since our first paper on single atom catalysis (Pd on C3N4), which appeared in the cover of @angew_chem. They don't make illustrations like that anymore. As far as art is concerned, today's covers are flashy but robotic and boring. No fun 😞

We are hiring! We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a strong research background in computational chemistry, particularly in AI/ML, molecular representation, retrosynthetic planning, and organic synthesis.

Our recent finding in CO2RR was published in @ACSEnergyLett. We uncovered the volcano-like relationship between the CO FE and the alkali metal cation to proton ratio in acid-fed membrane electrode assemblies, which is essential for achieving high selectivities and activities.

Slow down the reaction rate to have more C2+ products from electrochemical CO2 reduction.

At @Materials_MRS Boston Fall Meeting 2024 we celebrated the achievements of those group alumni (PhD and PDF) who were able to travel to join us, holding a scientific meeting on #perovskites #CQDs & #electrocatalysis followed by dinner together. The individuals in the photo are now faculty at @Yale @UMich @UWaterloo @UMassLowell @UMassAmherst @MemorialU @Virginia_Tech @UofOklahoma; research faculty @NorthwesternU; and post-docs at @NorthwesternU @UniofOxford. Big thanks to special guests @CHADNANO @mvkovalenko and Prof. Steve Forrest. Stay tuned for individual group-alumni profiles throughout #F24MRS week!

[Ted Sargent @tedsargentNU_TO]

Featured group alumni (PhD and PDF) who are at MRS Boston this week: Prof. @XiwenGong of @UMichChE, Prof. @Quan_Lina of @VTChemDept , and Prof. Oleksandr (Sasha) Voznyy @CleanUoft @chemuoft. Experts in perovskites; soft smart interactive electronics; 2D materials and spectroscopy; and computational and high-throughput chemistry. https://t.co/6zNpN7ivgX https://t.co/kQ43nw1Wod https://t.co/v6EArKUY9z Check out their talks EL01.07.01 EL04.09.01 EN08.09.06 today and tomorrow!
