Our latest work by Sayantan Sasmal on bipolar membranes is posted now as a pre-print. The voltage performance is incredible; < 100 mV driving water dissociation and H+/OH- separation/transport at 1 A cm-2. We also replaced Nafion with hydrocarbon CEMs. doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

“For decades, California has led the clean energy charge. Now, with the federal funding secured through ARCHES, California is set to unleash the tremendous benefits of clean hydrogen in California.” – State Senator Bob Archuleta (D-Pico Rivera)

Electrons interfere with each other like radio waves or ocean waves, but at superfast time scales. Scientists SLAC, Stanford University, Imperial College London & partners studied this using a clock that measures in attoseconds - 1 billionth of a billionth of a second: energy.gov/science/bes/ar…

We are building a major effort in electrochemical science, engineering, and technology at UC Berkeley / LBL to synergize with Oregon Center for Electrochemistry and work together to change the world through electrochemistry. electrochemistry.berkeley.edu

maybe the Pac-12 was just the friends we made along the way

Stoked to see this amazing piece of work by Eric Lees and Justin Bui integrating Marcus-Hush-Chidsey theory (and more!) into a continuum CO2R model go live. Definitely one of my favorite pieces from our group!

We're proud to announce the launch of ACS Electrochemistry, a peer-reviewed, hybrid journal that will begin accepting submissions next month with a focus on the fundamental and applied aspects of electrochemical science. Learn more about the new journal: go.acs.org/9rY

Out now in Nature Materials: an Article from Sayantan Sasmal, Shannon Boettcher & co-workers on materials descriptors for water dissociation catalysts in bipolar membranes. Boettcher Lab Link here:nature.com/articles/s4156…

First paper of grad school out now!

After over a year and a half in review, our paper on asymmetric, graphene-oxide catalyzed bipolar membranes is now published in ACSEnergyLett! These BPMs are exceptionally active and stable, and will play a key role in electro-catalysis and separations. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

My final first author paper, a collaborative study with bsky.app/profile/interphases.org on the importance of ion-management in forward-biased bipolar membranes ➕➖, is now published in Nature Chemical Engineering! Read here: rdcu.be/d4hPk 🧵 below with more detail! #Electrochemistry #Membranes

Super honored to be a part of this first issue and to have been a part of the start of this awesome journal for the ChemE community! You can find our contribution here: nature.com/articles/s4428…

Congrats to my fellow Boettcher Lab undergrad alum, Ally Tonsberg!
