Excited to share that our paper on the role of SEI in lithium-mediated ammonia synthesis is now out in @NatureEnergyJnl!

Happy to share that my latest project with @GallantGroupMIT is out now in JES! Check it out if you're interested in how SEI composition influences Li metal anode performance. Proud to be a part of this special issue celebrating electrochemistry at CWRU. iopscience.iop.org/article/1…

Don't sleep on Li2O! In a collab led by the Gallant group, we lent our cryo-EM expertise with their newly developed titration approach to show Li2O in battery SEIs correlate with battery performance. >99% CE was achieved in a fluorine-free electrolyte! nature.com/articles/s41560-0…

A world where power, money, and opportunity are primarily inherited is precisely the world we fought and clawed NOT to live in. Now, America and the world slips back into aristocracy and casteism with the gleeful support of institutions of power--including our Supreme Court.

Congratulations to Minju (@chung_minju) on a successful and engaging PhD defense!

While finishing my PhD and preparing to move for my postdoc, Nate brought up to me his ideas about this reaction. We had many late-night talks about how explore it. I learned a lot working with Nate, @thu_ton_2, @racheljbaker17, and @KManthiram on this!

Our cool 🥶 new results using cryo-electron microscopy to probe the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction now out in @NatureEnergyJnl!
Congrats to authors @kjsteinb & @XintongYuan and our collaborator @YuzhangLi

Our new preprint on SEI in lithium-mediated ammonia synthesis is up on @ChemRxiv!
This is a collab between the Li group @UclaCBE & @ManthiramLab, with co-authors @XintongYuan, Nik, @radicalchem, @KManthiram, & @YuzhangLi.

Cryo-TEM shows that LiMEAS electrodes have a disordered interfacial morphology quite different from the conventional clean Li-SEI interface we’d been picturing. Ethanol disrupts SEI passivation, enabling reactivity between lithium and nitrogen! 10/11

We show the importance of accounting for thermodynamic nonidealities in electrochemical kinetic studies!

ALT TOC graphic showing an x-y graph with "log (a) or log (c)" on the x-axis, "rate" on the y-axis. A curved blue data set on this plot, labeled with "slope ~ 1.7", is shown transforming into a red data set labeled with "slope ~ 2.8." On the arrow between the two data sets is a generic concentration-activity plot, shown with a headspace vial and pressure gauge inset, signifying the manner in which the activity data was obtained, and thereby how the blue data set was transformed into the red.
