Busy week! 😁😎🥸. Up first, a quick stop to the ATL for NAM29 to present research on biomass electroconversion processes 🧪⚡️⚡️🌲😎🦅. Up second, experiments at ALS…. Except not👎🙈. Unfortunately there was an equipment issue and we could not do experiments. These things happen, what can you do ?🤷♂️. We’ll take another shot next cycle 👍#nam29 #atl #biomass #catalyst #synchrotron #synchrotronlife #cantstopwontstop #dataordie

Just wrapped with experiments at BESSY-II 😎🇩🇪🍻🧑🔬👩🔬👨🔬🐮🐄. Using the Energy Materials In-Situ Laboratory (EMIL) and the OAESE beamline, we examined metal oxides catalyst under operando conditions during biomass conversion reactions 🤯🙂↔️😱😸. Awesome datasets collected for sure, and very supportive staff.

Thanks to @darastrix354 for keeping 10-ID-B pumping 🐈🐈⬛, and our collabs from INL 🥔☢️🐈⬛⚡️ for the help. Looking forward to more beam time at the APS in the future 🙂😀. #welcomeback #synchrotron #synchrotronlife #synchrotronscience #xas #criticalmaterials #rareearthelements #nitride #borides #electrocatalysis #cantstopwontstop #dataordie

New paper out in ACS Omega 🇺🇸🧪🏘️♎️. In partnership with the our friends at AFRL🛩️, we examine the local structure of polymer derived SiOC, an industrially relevant material that is poorly understood 😎. Here, we use a range of synchrotron techniques (at APS 🇺🇸, CLS 🇨🇦, and Aussitron 🇦🇺) to show how this material isn’t simply a mix of carbon, oxides, and/or carbides, but demonstrates local Si-O and Si-C coordination in a disordered environment. Cool new insights 👍. Thanks to our colleagues at the synchrotron facilities, and @yuweii77vv @haihackbarth for their efforts.

New paper in Angewandte Chemie International Edition 🇩🇪🧪🌎🗞️😎👍😁🧐! In partnership with @ale.fraca and his team at the Universidad de Cordoba 🇦🇷, metal organic frameworks were used to selectively degrade glyphosate, one of the most commonly used pesticides, to far less harmful chemicals in water 🌱 🌾🧑🌾👩🌾👨🌾💧🦆. The trick is to engineering catalyst sites with liable ligands to form defects. Great work by all, especially Jhair and Tatiana for co-leading the work, @steeephch for helping with data collection, and our mates at the Australian Synchrotron 🇦🇺, Taiwan Photon Source 🇹🇼, and PETRA-III 🇩🇪 for keeping the X-rays humming 🩻🐦🔥.

New paper in ACS Applied Energy Materials 🇺🇸🧪👥⚡️🧱😊🎉. In this work led by our colleagues at the University of Sydney, computational studies 💻🤖were performed on a Na transport on class of borohydrides, important materials for future battery technologies 🔋. These efforts showcase the important in borohydride phase in ion conductivity, and what anion pairing is important for transport. 😎.
