Rahul successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation entitled "Understanding the Electrode/Electrolyte Interphase in Magnesium-Ion Electrolytes with Simple Mg Salts". Congratulations Dr. Jay!
Linxiao's paper "Crystal Structure Transformation in Chevrel Phase Mo 6S 8 Induced by Aluminum Intercalation" was accepted by Chemistry of Materials. In this paper we proposed a new Al intercalation mechanism distinctly different from monovalent and divalent cations intercalation into Mo 6S 8.
Chengyin had two new papers: "Correlating Li +-Solvation Structure and its Electrochemical Reaction Kinetics with Sulfur in Subnano Confinement" in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters and "Confined Lithium-Sulfur Reactions in Narrow-Diameter Carbon Nanotubes Reveal Enhanced Electrochemical Reactivity” in ACS Nano. Noam's paper “Lithium Sulfide-Carbon Composites via Aerosol Spray Pyrolysis as Cathode Materials for Lithium-Sulfur...
Dr. Guo was invited to present works on multivalent electrochemistry at Electrochemical Energy Science and Technology 2018 in Niagara Falls, Canada and Beyond Lithium Ion XI Conference in Cleveland, Ohio.
