Super proud of this one, with lead co-authors Tianyang Chen & Harish Banda . Extremely fast charging and high capacity #EnergyStorage organic materials in water. Opens a big new chapter in our research and features our first co-author from Lamborghini cell.com/joule/fulltext…

Energy storage can be fast AND high in capacities. An organic molecule packs and acts like a 2D material, enabling exceptional properties. More results, and more possibilities, beyond aqueous systems are on the way. Working with Tianyang Chen was a delight!!

Our work on probing ion-sorption mechanisms using Low-temp ssNMR is out in dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.ch… Working with Daniel Lee was a pleasure!

Game-changing organic Li-ion cathodes that compete with commercial inorganic cathodes in all relevant metrics: bit.ly/3sOZA6z High power, long-lasting, and should be safer too! Thanks Lamborghini for supporting us! Tianyang Chen Harish Banda Jules Oppenheim

Competent organic cathodes can truly revolutionize Li-ion batteries and catalyze global transition to renewables. Super excited for the possibilities this work opens up. bit.ly/3sOZA6z Thanks Lamborghini Cheers @DincaGroupMIT Tianyang Chen Jules Oppenheim

Organic cathode materials have been questioned for a long time about their practicability due to low conductivity (thus need a lot of carbon in the electrode) and dissolution during cycling. Our cathode overcomes these limitations and can complete with commercial cathodes.

Excited to see our work in the front cover of J. Am. Chem. Soc. ! Led by our postdoc, Dr. Dmitri Cordova, we found ways to synthetically control and direct the crystallization of quasi-1D van der Waals nanocrystals into optically-active nanowires and nanosheets.

Excited to report what should be a scalable, low-humidity water sorbent with high, tunable capacity. It was a pleasure hosting Dalal Alezi for a year under ibkfellowship.mit! Jules Oppenheim J. Am. Chem. Soc. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Thrilled to see C&EN highlighted my PhD work with Harish Banda in @DincaGroupMIT , where we utilize a semiconducting and highly insoluble organic molecular material for cathode of Li-ion batteries. Really competitive metrics at the electrode level are achieved!

Glad to see this work get published. Organic materials truly hold the key to sustainable batteries! Congratulations Tianyang Chen Mircea Dincă

Here's to a battery that doesn't need cobalt, nickel, or phosphate, stores just as much energy, and is probably longer-lived and safer! Open access in ACS Central Science and funded by Lamborghini Fantastic work by Tianyang Chen Harish Banda Jules Oppenheim pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Chemists have developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could cut the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals with high financial, environmental, and social costs. “I think this material could have a big impact,” says Mircea Dincă. mitsha.re/aOas50Qt9RI

Check out our paper on the Electrochemical Synthesis of Sound in ACS Central Science! We make sound from the motion of ions at the electrochemical interface, thereby gaining intuitive insight into dynamics occurring at the interface! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Delighted to share the first article from my research lab at UTEP published today in ACSEnergyLett . We report on diverse intercalation of ions & a unique redox enhancement in Non-Porous 2D MOFs. Kudos to Tianyang Chen Jinhu Dou pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Thrilled to see this nice commentary article "Opening the Door to New Design Rules for Rechargeable Battery Materials" pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… from the Prieto lab on my recent work with Harish Banda that we conducted at @DincaGroupMIT

Beggining to peel away at what makes MOFs better supercaps: distancing the layers with alkyl groups helps! Now out in Angewandte Chemie from Alice Su and collaborators in the Vlad group at UC Louvain: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2…

We discovered dissolution as a general & primary degradation path (~80%) for 2D MOFs in energy storage devices. Arresting it enables 100k+cycle/1500+h stable performances. Caution on using Swagelok cells with lots of electrolyte! Tianyang Chen Jinhu Dou doi.org/10.1039/D4SC02…
