New paper out in Nature Synthesis ๐ธ ๐ด๐งชโ๏ธ๐๐ป๐ฉ๏ธ. Co-lead by our colleagues at USyd ๐ฆ, high entropy nanowires ๐งถ were used for the Cl2 evolution, which exhibits 98% FE at 10kA/ m2 โก๏ธ. We employed multiple in-situ experiments to showcase an PtO2 edge site activation mechanism, which enables high selectivity.

We recently wrapped on some nice in-situ electrochemical โก๏ธ๐งช XAS beamtime at the ISS ๐ฐ๏ธ beamline, NSLS-II. Huge thanks to our colleagues at Johns Hopkins for the assist. New data to be published soon! #synchrotronlife #synchrotronscience #synchrotron #cantstopwontstop #dataordie
New paper out in Chemistry of Materials ๐งช๐งฑ๐ โฑ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐ช. Led by the team at UQ๐ธ, a novel method for making PbI2 ๐จ๐งquantum dots was examined, using the thermal decomposition ๐ฅ MOF glasses ๐ and Pb halides. The decomposed MOF chemistry provides an excellent shell around the QDs while also resulting in a tight size distribution, important for optoelectronic applications.

Nice little call out on the INL ๐ฅโข๏ธ๐ฌwebpage on our critical materials ๐งฑ work for the military ๐ช๐ซก. Lots of exciting stuff on the horizon and big projects coming up ๐๐๐ช.

New paper in Angewandte Chemie International Edition ๐ฉ๐ชโ๏ธ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฌ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ. In another effort led by the folks at Griffith University ๐ฆ, new dual site catalysts were engineered for the CO2 reduction reaction ๐จ๐ฅ. Using Ni-Cr atomic pairs anchored โ๏ธ into a nitrated carbon matrix, Ni atoms promote CO2 activation while Cr atoms promote H20 ๐ฆdissociation, ultimately boosting reaction efficiency ๐ง๐ง . Great work by all! Read the paper here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anie.202521247 #electrocatalysis #nickel #chromium #co2 #dataordie
New paper out in JACS ๐๐บ๐ธ๐งช๐๏ธ๐ง๐ง โ๏ธ!!! In a collaborative effort led by our mates at Griffith university ๐ฆ, we deep dive ๐คฟ into the role that O vacancies play in CO2 elctroconversionโก๏ธin tin oxides๐ฅซ. Using a range of insitu measurements ๐ and DFT calculations๐ค, we uncover unique Sn-O motifs that facilitate formate production that better explain the process well beyond the conventional adsorbate evolution models ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ฏโโ๏ธ๐ฏโโ๏ธ.

Got to spend some time at the University of Utah ๐ดโช๏ธ๐ recently for a summit on regional strategy for future critical material and minerals research โ๏ธ๐ช๐งช๐. Great event with a ton of great institutions involved, plus we got snow โ๏ธ๐จ๏ธ. Lots of new work coming out of this group soon ๐ #criticalminerals #utah #letitsnowโ๏ธโ๏ธ #collabos #cantstopwontstop #dataordie
Just wrapped up on some XAS ๐ฉป experiments at a snowy โ๏ธ๐จ๏ธ Advanced Photon Source ๐ก. We got a ton of nice data on chemistries ๐งช used in REE separations โก๏ธ๐งฒ, along with a bunch of new catalyst chemistries as well ๐ค. Big thanks to @darastrix354 for all the help with experiments, and the rest of the team for Mines โ๏ธ and INL ๐ฅโข๏ธ. Keep an eye out for new papers in the future ๐๐๐. #aps #xas #synchrotron #synchrotronscience #synchrotronlife #firsttimers #betterinthesnow #whosdinosauristhis #cantstopwontstop #dataordie
I had a great time at the Microelectronics National Security Summit & Workshop ๐ป๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๏ธ, hosted by the Southwest Mission Acceleration Center (SWMAC) and ASU SWAP Hub ๐ต๐๏ธ๐๐ซ๐ฃโ๏ธ๐ฑ๐ค. Great to see people from across industries and professions come together to discuss the future of the field. Always nice to be in the desert too (as long as itโs not summer!) #microelectronics #themission #summit #swaphub #asu #thunderbird #cm #cantstopwontstop #dataordie
Big time congrats to Jhair Pena Prada for successfully completing his PhD ๐๐จโ๐๐๐๐งช๐ฅผ๐ฅณ๐๐๐พ๐ป๐๐๐ฅณ๐๐จ๐ด๐จ๐ด๐จ๐ด. Dr Jhairโs thesis on understanding toxic chemical degradation pathways in MOFs, and importantly, how MOF structure dictates chemical properties, is a great contribution to the field ๐๐.

Two big conferences last โ๏ธ. Up first, J-DAMMIT ๐ข๐ฅin Harrisburg PA, where there was a ton of cool tech and nice discussions on the future of additive manufacturing ๐จ๏ธ. Definitely going back next year ๐. Followed that up with the Critical Minerals Symposium at the Colorado School Mines โ๏ธ๐ช๐๐ฎ. Awesome group of people and awesome discussion as always, as Iโm sure it will be next year ๐ธ. #jdammit2025 #additivemanufacturing #harrisburg #annedoesshots #criticalminerals #golden #cantstopwontstop #dataordie
Awesome time at the CMI meeting this week ๐ชจโ๏ธ, hosted at INL ๐ฅ๐งโ๐ฌ๐ฉโ๐ฌ๐จโ๐ฌ. Lots of great discussions on how to solve global issues in critical materials, including resource management and supply chain issue. Tons of awesome work will be coming out of this for sure.๐ #criticalmaterials #mining #separations #rareearth #cobalt #inmybackyard #cantstopwont #dataordie
