Qin and Paula Abdala 🕊 say hello from #Erice, ending an amazing week, teaching and learning 👩‍🏫👩‍🎓, at the international school of crystallography. Thank you for everything CrystalErice!

Puyang Puyang Tian has gladly presented a poster at his first symposium, #bsrc24, on the selective hydrodemethylation of methyl alkylbenzenes with carbon-supported potassium hydride.

LESE at #ICC2024 in Lyon with posters/presentations by Melis, Angelo and David. Now ready for today's excursion 🤩

Matthias presented his work on defect modulation in indium oxide catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol at the #C1ChemSymposium! Learn more at C1Chem.org

"No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it." Similarly, operando synchrotron experiments are a collaborative team effort. #TeamWork Thank you European Synchrotron !

One of our (Denis Kuznetsov and Valentina) first experiences with neutrons ISIS Neutron and Muon Source to study the arrangement of oxygen atoms in our electrocatalysts. Wonderful science expected to come out. isis.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/News24_R…

The Relation between Nature and Stability of H2-Dissociating Sites and Propene Selectivity in Silica-Supported (Ga,Al)2O3 Mixed Oxide Propane Dehydrogenation Catalysts (Christoph R. Mueller and co-workers) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hl…

New opening in our department for an assistant professor in the broad areas of energy and chemical/process engineering. Become a part of the great ETH family. ethz.ch/en/the-eth-zur…

If you are interested in chemical-looping-based dehydrogation this new review might be a good starting point. Excellent work by Alex and Elena summarizing the field and providing a perspective for future research pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

#ChemPhysChem Implications for the Hydrogenation of Propyne and Propene with Parahydrogen due to the in situ Transformation of Rh2C to Rh0/C (Igor V. Koptyug and co-workers) LESE_Group, LMMT #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cp…

Traditional LESE hike in the beautiful Hoch Ybrig.

LESE is present at this year's AIChE in San Diego. Jens presented his wonderful work on how to utilize MRI to visualize the flow in spout fluidized beds.

Warmed up and energized with Glühwein, the LESErs continued with a traditional Raclette. We wish everyone similarly warm feelings for the fast-approaching holiday time!

Yi-Hsuan is back

What fraction of the specific surface area of #MXenes gets involved in catalytic reactions with gases? Our new research shows that while it depends on the size of the reactant molecule, the intralayer space participates little — see more in the long read: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Last exam for this semester done. Thank you all for helping! Now it is time for grading.

Second Ph.D. graduation of LESE in 2025. Well done Yi-Hsuan! First Ph.D. graduate in the area of electrocataysis. Big thank you to Kevin Sivula for acting as the external examiner.

First Ph.D. defense in 2025! Congratulations Jens! Wonderful collaboration with the Prüssmann group on advancing MRI for granular materials. Big thank you also to Dan Holland for acting as the external examiner.

New postdoc opening: We are looking for an experienced postdoc in electrocatalysis to support our work on metal-oxide based OER catalysts. jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_…
