In Nature Energy, Fangyuan Jiang, David S. Ginger (Ginger Lab), and their colleagues improved reverse bias instability in #perovskite #solar cells by combining a polymer hole transport layer with a less reactive back electrode. nature.com/articles/s4156…

In Nature Materials, Yingying Chen, Christopher Evans (Chris Evans), and colleagues developed #SolidState polymer #electrolytes with a peptide structure that helped to enhance the material’s conductivity and stability. nature.com/articles/s4156…

In Joule, Calvin Lin (Calvin H Lin), Jonathan Fan (Jon Fan Lab), and colleagues designed a thermochemical #reactor that uses induction to produce the substantial heat needed for many industrial processes — with no #FossilFuels. cell.com/joule/fulltext…

The activation energy of ionic transport changes with composition in electrode composites for #SolidStateBatteries. The new study supports that electrolyte optimization is necessary for #batteries to work at colder temperatures. 🔗 go.aps.org/3X4XNpv

For #OpenScienceWeek, let’s talk data availability. Our refreshed policy means that all articles in Physical Review D and PRX Energy will now have a statement explaining where data can be accessed. Expect the same for all of our journals by the end of the year. 🔗

Nice to see this work from Jupp Lab out in Organometallics doi.org/10.1021/acs.or… marking our groups first foray into using ReactIR to study catalysis UoBChemistry

Kudos to @UniBirmingham & Echion Technologies for winning the 2024 Faraday Institution Collaboration Award! 🏆 Read more about how this long-standing partnership has made significant advances in the development of new anode materials for high power Li-ion batteries. ➡️lnkd.in/eqHHbirS

Delighted that our ongoing collaboration with Echion Technologies has been awarded the 2024 Faraday Institution Collaboration award. UoBChemistry Birmingham Energy Energy Materials Group (Birmingham) Dr Lizzie Driscoll Alex Green

Hamish Yeung now presenting 'Dynamic metastable intermediates in zeolite imidazolate framework fomation'. #EPoMM_UK

Great to see Hamish Yeung from UoBChemistry presenting his group's fascinating work at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council #EPOMM_UK Network meeting in Bath:

Scientists at Uni of Birmingham and Queen's University Belfast 🎓 have discovered new ways of separating harmful or unwanted alcohols from existing liquids: birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/crea… Debbie Crawford UoBChemistry

Really excited to announce that I've been awarded a The Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship to be hosted UoBChemistry from early next year. Grateful for the opportunity to build a research group that will study complex nanoparticle systems. PhDs to be advertised soon!

I'm really grateful for all who have helped me to get to this point over the years, including friends, collaborators and colleagues. Special thank you to my supervisors Dave Leigh and O'Reilly group for all their advice, guidance and support.

Cobalt can be an electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions that produce #GreenHydrogen. In a new study, scientists observed a three-fold increase in hydrogen production upon inserting reduced graphene oxide in a cobalt catalyst. Read the paper: go.aps.org/4euDj0m

This work was done by Carl Osby Mariano, Cheng-Hao Chuang, and their colleagues at Tamkang University, National Chung Cheng University, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, and National Taipei University of Technology.

Stephen Fielden 🇺🇦 The Royal Society UoBChemistry Congrats pal. Smashing it!

Heusler compounds could help advance thermoelectric technologies for #SustainableEnergy. Now, scientists have shown that off-stoichiometric Heusler semiconductors have thermoelectric properties that exceed what was thought possible for these materials. 🔗 go.aps.org/3MSA5IA

This work was done by Michael Parzer, Ernst Bauer, and colleagues at TU Wien, Universität Wien, NIMS (物質・材料研究機構), and 筑波大学/University of Tsukuba.

Congratulations to UoBChemistry @PRSlaterChem and Echion Technologies for winning the 2024 Faraday Institution Community Award for Collaboration. faraday.ac.uk/birmingham-ech… An amazing achievement 👏

Exciting research alert! The University of Birmingham is using the high-performance cluster BlueBEAR to study battery materials. Cutting-edge tech, leading to better, more efficient batteries for the future! #HPC #BlueBEAR #sustainableenergy blog.bham.ac.uk/bear/2024/09/2… David Scanlon
