This thermodynamic cycle will be useful for modeling adsorption in the aqueous phase. "A Simple Bond-Additivity Model Explains Large Decreases in Heats of Adsorption in Solvents Versus Gas Phase: A Case Study with Phenol on Pt(111) in Water pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

In this work, we show how small PtxOy/CeO2 clusters are much more active than Pt1/CeO2 for low-temperature CO oxidation. This collaborative project started after discussing with Ming Yang at a local Michigan Catalysis Society meeting. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Proud of the new paper in #AdvEnergyMat by John and Joe where we attempt to quantify losses and asses the photovoltage limits in metal–insulator–semiconductor solar water splitting systems onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our group's work on electrocatalytic hydrogenation was recently published in the journal ACS Catalysis . Congratulations to James Akinola for being the lead author on the paper! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Great to collaborate with Suljo Linic (Suljo Linic) at Linic Lab and our PhD student Jacques Esterhuizen (@jacquesesterhu2) to show "Theory-Guided Machine Learning Finds Geometric Structure-Property Relationships for Chemisorption on Subsurface Alloys"! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our work on developing a catalyst for propane dehydrogenation to propylene that operates with thermodynamic conversion, 100 percent selectivity and enhanced stability. Congratulations AlI, Rawan, James and Valentina science.sciencemag.org/content/373/65…

Truly honored to receive the 2023 Gabor A. Somorjai Award for Creative Research in Catalysis! I am immensely grateful to my former and current students, postdocs, mentors, peers and colleagues. Michigan Chemical Engineering , Michigan Engineering , Linic Lab , ACS Catalysis , ACS CATL Division

Congrats to Rachel, Rawan, James, and Aarti on great talks yesterday at the Michigan Catalysis Society Symposium in Midland, MI 👏 Special congrats to Rawan on receiving the Outstanding Student Presentation Award!

I won the overall best graduate student poster presentation sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive at the just concluded 49th annual NOBCChE conference held in Orlando, Florida. I feel very honored to receive an award from a national organization for the science…lnkd.in/dpCPwtzt
