ECS 2022
ECS 2022 was a nice conference with lots of engaging talks, including from Nobel Laureate Prof. Stan Whittingham, who even stopped by the student mixer to mingle with the student members of ECS. It was great to meet a lot of new people, especially finally being able to meet people in person.

Journal of Physical Chemistry C Paper Published
My debut first-author paper came out today, "Molecular-Scale Elucidation of Ionic Charge Storage Mechanisms in Rechargeable Aluminum–Quinone Batteries". This study puts forward an in-depth analysis of charge storage mechanisms in aluminium-quinone batteries that we expect to be generalisable for all anthraquinone-based materials paired with aluminium-metal anodes in Lewis acidic chloroaluminate electrolyte.

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces Paper Published
Our paper in collaboration with the Juchen Guo group (UC Riverside): "Performance Leap of Lithium Metal Batteries in LiPF6 Carbonate Electrolyte by a Phosphorus Pentoxide Acid Scavenger" was published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces today. This work is a culmination of excellent performance of lithium metal batteries and deep, mechanistic understanding.

ACS Chemistry of Materials Paper Published
Our ACS Chemistry of Materials paper entitled "Soluble Electrolyte-Coordinated Sulfide Species Revealed in Al–S Batteries by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy", led by Dr. Rahul Jay and Dr. Ankur Jadhav, was published. The study probed the different species present through solid-state NMR techniques on a multiphase sample containing both solid and liquid and species. Click into this post for the link.
