New paper published in ACS Applied Polymer Materials on the use of redox-responsive 2-aminoanthraquinone core-shell particles for structural colors and carbon capture. This work was done in collaboration with the group of Markus Gallei (Saarland University), Karin Jacobs (Saarland University), and T. Alan Hatton (MIT).

We are very fortunate to welcome new group members to our team!

  • Bowen Dong is joining us as a Ph.D. student supported by the China Scholarship Council. Bowen has graduated from China University of Geosciences (China) and will be working on MXene batteries.
  • Jerome Baudin is joining us as a EEIGM student. Jerome is enrolled in the EEIGM program and his last host University in this international program was Université de Lorraine (Nancy, France). He will be working on layered metal oxide batteries.
  • Lexane Deligniere is joining us as a EEIGM student. Lexane is enrolled in the EEIGM program and her last host University in this international program was Université de Lorraine (Nancy, France). She will be working on water desalination with layered metal oxides.
  • Xiao Zhang is joining us as a EEIGM student and as a student intern. Xiao is enrolled in the EEIGM program and her last host University in this international program was Saarland University. She will be working on MXene desalination.

Volker Presser will be giving an invited oral presentation at the MaterialsWeek 2021 on “Ion mining: electrochemical extraction of ions from mine water and other aqueous media” on September 7th.

Mohammad Torkamanzadeh is giving an oral presentation entitled “Electrochemical seawater desalination with Ti3C2Tz MXene” at the 31st International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials (online due to COVID-19). Tune in on September 6th at 4:40 PM.
