This month, Beichen wrote a short piece aobut the many interfaces around us, and those that inspire the research that our group pursues. Check it out! interfaces.che.wisc.edu/lightning-stri…

At long last, we have exciting news to announce: our surface forces apparatus is now installed! Check out these cool interference fringes! This unique setup enables our group to measure nanoscale forces between surfaces. Stay tuned for exciting work!

#NASAWebb’s mirrors are warming up their moves! 💃🏾 Its 18 primary mirror segments have motors to align them to perform as one big mirror. Today we confirmed that all motors (including those on Webb's other mirrors) are in working order: go.nasa.gov/3K5oJ10 #UnfoldTheUniverse

First two papers from our lab accepted within the last 24 hours! What a way to head out on a family vacation. More to share soon… 😎 GebbieLab

Excited to have our first paper out in ACS Catalysis! We show ionic correlations can play a key role in CO2 electroreduction, with intermediate concentration disrupting structure-property trends developed at lower ionic strength. GebbieLab UW-Madison CBE pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

2019 to 2022

Time to reinvent the wheel. Here’s the Cartwheel Galaxy in a whole new light — as a composite image from 2 instruments on the Webb telescope. Webb uniquely offers not just a snapshot of the galaxy’s current state, but also a peek into its past & future: go.nasa.gov/3SfEQgR

Latest group photo after undergraduate presentations today! Thanks for joining us for the summer REU program, Megan, Adrian, and Diego! Fantastic to see the culmination of all of the research progress.

My first publication is out in The Journal of Physical Chemistry! We compare ionic liquid performance to classical electrolyte design models and find super-hydrodynamic conductivity scaling, suggesting the possibility of tuning ion-transport mechanisms in ionic liquids. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… 🧵👇

Added LOTS of motivations

“Finished data analysis and found results not matching with predictions at all”

Gebbie group boating trip to celebrate the end of a great year!

Check out our latest work, led by Wenxiao Guo! We show suppressing anionic co-ion generation using cationic proton sources amplifies interfacial electric fields, leading to higher activity of electrochemical CO2 reduction in nonaqueous electrolytes. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

In our newest paper, out now in Soft Matter, we look at how ion entropy influences double layer formation and electrocatalysis: doi.org/10.1039/D3SM01…

Excited about our paper on why aromatic cations are unique promoters of CO2 reduction! Wenxiao Guo’s sendoff work links catalytic activity to an unexplored interaction that is the electrostatic mirror of cation-pi interactions - a 2024 JMCA HOT paper 🔥 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I am excited to announce that I am going to launch my own research group as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Tulane University ! I am m so grateful for the experiences and support I have had at Matthew Gebbie’s GebbieLab and looking forward to this new chapter💚
