switcH2 Goes Live!!!
From the Peter Ferral Cup to switcH2. The students have officially started their startup company. Really great stuff!! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses. Learn more about switcH2 here: https://www.switch2engineering.com/
New Paper in Advanced Materials
New paper in Advanced Materials!! In collaboration with Liming Dai’s group and various NASA researchers, we report on a Li-CO2 battery based on graphene materials. Such materials could pave the way toward new energy storage constructs where atmospheric CO2 can be
Recent Soft X-ray Spectroscopy at the Aussitron
Our students just got back from the SXR beamline at the Aussitron. They spent the weekend probing the lower energy electronic transitions, including in various catalytic and biosensor systems. Good job everyone! Thanks to Lar Thomsen for looking over the ...
New Publication in Nanoscale
Ever wonder how proteins absorb on Au NPs? Our findings on this topic can be found in our recent paper in Nanoscale. In collaboration with Alf Garcia-Bennett’s team at Macquarie University, we use a series of techniques to explore how protein absorb on Au ...
New PartCat Paper in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces
New paper from PartCat is now out in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. Here we detail how catalysts manipulation can lead to the selective production of syngas. DOUBLE THUMBS UP EMOJI. You can find the paper here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsami.9b21216
