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 6 S 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 6 S 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...
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.
