Happy to be at #ACSSpring2024 to celebrate Maxwell Robb Piero Canepa and Jarad Mason's awards!!! Congratulations!!!! 🎉🎉

We are looking forward to hosting Max tomorrow and hearing about all the fantastic science! Maxwell Robb The Robb Group

🎉Congratulations to the 2024 ACS Macro Letters/Biomacromolecules/Macromolecules Young Investigator Award Winners: 🏅 Brett Fors, Cornell University (Brett Fors) 🏅 Sarah Perry, UMass Amherst (Sarah Perry (she/her)) Read their interviews here ➡ go.acs.org/9eb

Well, I guess it’s Twitter Official…Yesterday I was promoted to Professor with tenure Caltech in Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering. I am beyond grateful to my amazing students, colleagues, mentors, family, and friends that helped me get here. I feel truly lucky. Thank you!

Very sad news. I was fortunate to have met and interacted with Prof. Michl on a visit to CU Boulder Chemistry in fall 2022. He was a legendary scientist and was very gracious to me.

Check out Xiaotong Li paper that highlights the effect of metal substitution on voltage hysteresis in anion redox materials in Chemistry of Materials ! Even rxns that form persulfides can get away with a 50 mV hysteresis if the right metal is in there! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

If anyone is interested in a postdoc position studying the effect of electrolyte composition on electrochemical CO2 reduction in Liquid Sunlight Alliance, please send me an email with your CV with a subject line: "CO2R postdoc." We have some cool results to understand!

Sarah Reisman, the Bren Professor of Chemistry and a leader in the area of natural product synthesis has been selected as the new chair of Caltech's Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering (CCE). caltech.edu/about/news/new…

Check out Steven's paper that investigates the dual-ion Mg|MClx battery chemistries! Conversion of metal chlorides (even w/Fe and Cu!) can have quite high CEs, but fade is an issue. Watch out for chemical reduction by the electrolyte and crossover! doi.org/10.1149/1945-7…

Check out Steve's paper looking at isostructural mats that undergo anion redox, but with metals of different d band positions. The anion oxidation potential is unchanged - confirming that anion oxidation occurs from nonbonding S p states. #battchat pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

I hear this paper is a big deal. Congrats to The See Group!

Congratulations Jolly Patro (Jolly Patro)! A member of the Kalow Lab, she received a 2024 Science Olympiad Alumni Research Award for Climate/Energy Research Impacting a Safer, Greener World. 🧪🌏 #WomeninSTEM #Sustainability #GraduateExcellence

Today we report in J. Am. Chem. Soc. a novel and highly modular platform for mechanically triggered chemiluminescence (bright light emission) from polymers.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining Caltech Caltech Chemistry & Chemical Engineering as an Assistant Professor in Summer 2025! The Morstein Lab will develop chemical tools to study, target, and reprogram the human lipidome. (1/3) morsteinlab.caltech.edu

Check out Michelle's paper! She studies LiNaFeS2 in both Li and Na half cells to compare anion redox mechanisms when Li vs Na is the majority charge carrier in the electrolyte. The charge compensation is the same, but the structural implications are not. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

.Zac iton's last paper 🥲 in The See Group just came out in Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) today! A beautiful paper on the MPS3 framework as a modular host for mobile, solvated ions (incl aprotic solv!). He interrogates many structure-property relationships. #proudadvisor pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
