A great compilation of #grants and #fellowships for young researchers featured in this @nature article: nature.com/articles/d4158… In addition, members of ETH Zurich and University of Zurich have access to the *ResearchProfessional database: researchprofessional.com/institution/32… #GradLifeETH

Some new insights on how to approach active catalysts for OER by rational composition selection. Check out our LESE_Group latest paper in J. Am. Chem. Soc. “Tailoring Lattice Oxygen Binding in Ruthenium Pyrochlores to Enhance Oxygen Evolution Activity”. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Excited to see another work featured on J. Am. Chem. Soc. cover page. Swiss copper coin alludes to the most active Cu-containing OER catalyst, and water-to-fire metamorphosis symbolizes renewable energy. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Glad to see this out in J. Mater. Chem. family A!

Just out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.: selective oxygen reduction to H2O2 on 2D molybdenum carbide - or, more precisely, on what is left of it.

Unpeeling the MXene: Mo2CTx:Fe loses all Mo under ORR conditions, letting the remaining iron-on-carbon to do all the work of selectively reducing O2 to hydrogen peroxide #MyACSCover

Was truly great to collaborate with Zixuan Zixuan, Paula Paula Abdala 🕊 and the rest on this.

Hat-trick of J. Am. Chem. Soc. covers is completed with our new artwork featuring Mo carbide getting unpeeled like banana before initiating oxygen reduction. #MyACScover

Check out our new study ACS Nano on how two-dimensional titanium carbide nanosheets can be switched back and forth between flat and rippled morphology by the laser illumination.

Our new story Nature Catalysis on how to increase an intrinsic activity of copper sites towards CO2 hydrogenation to methanol by coupling them with molybdenum carbide support.

Check out our review/perspective on 2D MXenes for electrocatalysis. Congratulations to Constantine and the rest of the team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Even though redox-inactive elements are spectators in electrocatalytic reaction, their presence makes a difference to the reaction kinetics. Check out our paper just out in Angewandte Chemie! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Don’t underestimate the role of redox-inactive elements in catalytic redox reactions! Check out our paper in Angewandte Chemie on the oxygen reduction reaction using doped manganese oxide nanoparticles as a model system: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

We are on the cover! Metal (catalyst) hands are tearing O2 molecule apart to produce water.

Ever wondered what happens when you combine liquid metal with solid metal? Amalgamation! And it holds the key to crafting remarkable #intermetallic #nanocrystals, superior materials in electrocatalysis, Zn-ion batteries, and high-voltage photocathodes: doi.org/10.1002/adfm.2…

Against common assumption that surface transformation of OER catalysts is an electrochemically-triggered process, surface reconstruction of Ni oxides is a purely chemical reaction with alkaline electrolyte. Check out our new J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We are on the cover! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102… #MyACSCover

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…

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.

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_…
