Very excited to announce our latest work on garnet solid electrolytes published in Advanced Energy Materials. We demonstrate the consequence of doping on structure and show the wide tunability of numerous intrinsic properties needed for viable batteries. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ae…

What? The McCalla lab does organic electrosynthesis? Only with great collaborators Mauzeroll Group, khaliullin and Canesi groups. Way to go Antoine Juneau and team! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce…

High-Throughput Electrochemistry for Reaction Optimization: A “home-made” reactor capable of running up to 24 individually controlled electrosyntheses chemistryviews.org/high-throughpu…

What is holding up the ‘rust-salt’ battery? In a recent review in Energy & Environmental Science,  we explore with our industrial partner Umicore how air/moisture instability is preventing wide use of Mn,Fe-based layered oxides as Na-ion cathodes. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Excited to share our recent Na-ion cathode paper, with proof that we have indeed heard about this machine-learning fad! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ae…

We are super proud of Shipeng Jia for winning a 2024 ECS Canada Section Student Award! Way to go Shipeng! electrochem.org/canada-student…

Our recent Sodium cathode paper is now out! 🚀 In this study, we systematically explored the benefits of Ni substitution in Na–Fe–Mn–O Cathodes. Great job Marzieh Abdolhosseini and team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Lithium is used widely in batteries, but it's a finite resource. Now a team from McGill University McGill Chemistry has come up with a way to replace most of the lithium in batteries with sodium. bit.ly/3WfjzI2 #batteries #advancedmaterials

In a recent perspective published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry, Eric presents the varied benefits of doping with over 60 different elements into battery materials. The outlook for braving the elements in this way is bright, particularly when coupled to machine-learning. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
