Immobilizing molecular #catalysts on supports is an ideal way to merge the high activity characteristic of homogeneous catalysts with the reusability of heterogeneous catalysts. However, use of binders or covalent coupling strategies typically leads to decreased activities and selectivities. Yet non-covalent interactions can sometimes afford stable and active molecular catalysts provided there is suitable compatibility between some of their components and a support. A recent work shows how Co-phtalocyanine complexes can be immobilized on multiwalled carbon nanotube electrodes in absence of binders and show high activity for the electrocatalytic reduction of #CO2. Check out the article, which was authored by #SCGSR awardee Thomas Chan in collaboration with Anoushka Shandilya (she/her), Colin Loeb, Dr. Jacob Barrett, and Prof. Clifford Kubiak of the University of California San Diego, and Dr. Marija Zoric and Dr. Amy Cordones of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. And remember: applications for the 2024 SCGSR awards are open! Submission deadline: May 1, 2024. If you are a #PhDstudent: apply now and contribute to pushing the boundaries of science.

I want everyone to know this vortex trick! 😁 Mixing the liquid is very important! Putting it on the vortex instrument does not mean mixing it evenly Be sure to check if the liquid has spun up! 😬 #Laboratory Daily # Research # Research Daily # Researchers # Laboratory Tips # Vortex # Research Learning # A-GEN

Finally, I decided to share my journey in the scientific community as I am delighted to share my first author paper, with the title; “Computational study on nickel doped encapsulated Mg, K, Ca on pristine C24 nanocage for gas sensing applications” In this study, our investigation centers on exploring the adsorption and sensing characteristics of nickel-doped encapsulated Mg, K, and Ca on a pristine C24 nanocage concerning CO2, NO2, and SO2 gases. Our assessment encompasses a comprehensive analysis, including structural examination, adsorption energies, FMO, DOS, charge transfer, QTAIM, NCI, dipole moment, and recovery time to assess reusability. These findings are then compared with existing studies for a comprehensive understanding. This accomplishment is a reflection of diligence and perseverance in creating and advancing the innovative scientific study of global climate impact through gas sensors. My gratitude to my Principal Investigator Hitler Louis (MRSC) , whom under his supervision this paper became a success. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to my co-authors Henry .O Edet, Innocent Benjamin (MRSC., MNSM., MSOLETE., MACS), Adedapo Adeyinka…for their efforts in making this significant. https://lnkd.in/d68Kpexw #publications #nanotechnology #computationalchemistry #journals #research

Need a materials database for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) or bio-imaging applications? Here's one on thermally-activated delayed fluorescence molecules and their properties (emission wavelength, photoluminescence quantum yield, singlet-triplet energy splitting, delayed lifetime). See our new paper https://lnkd.in/e5UJk69T for the open-source database and to find out how we made it using our chemistry-aware text-mining tool, ChemDataExtractor. Well done to my PhD student, Jack Huang, for this great piece of research! @raengnews @deptofphysics @molecularengine @isisneutronmuon #springernature #chemdataextractor #naturallanguageprocessing #languagemodels #machinelearning #database #materialsscience #oled #bioimaging #textmining #datascience #dataanalytics #cheminformatics #photovoltaics #lightharvesters #molecules #photonics #quantumyield #photoluminescence #delayedlifetime

A really impressive lecture highlighting the use of "bench stable gas precursors" thanks Troels Skrydstrup - it will make me think twice before reaching for the CO lecture bottle! 🎈 #organicchemistry #synthesis #chemistry #drugdiscovery

I'm thrilled to share that my latest article, "Investigating the Electronic Properties and Stability of Rh3 Clusters on Rutile TiO2 for Potential Photocatalytic Applications," has just been published in #nanomaterials. This research explores innovative pathways for enhancing photocatalytic processes, which are crucial for energy conversion and environmental remediation. The study delves into the intricacies of Rh3 clusters on rutile TiO2, unveiling new insights that could pave the way for more efficient and stable photocatalysts. #Photocatalysis #RenewableEnergy #hydrogen #Nanomaterials #ScientificResearch https://lnkd.in/gnc8r2m3
