Very happy to see both Behnoosh Bornamehr and Mohammad Torkamanzadeh winning in the essay competition on open science / open data of Saarland University! This makes for a 100% win rate for applicants from our team 😉 Open access is not without challenges and caveats and the journey toward a world of true open science remains a high goal for the future. I am happy to see that our students actively engage in the conversation and contribute their valuable insights and share their experience!

It is a privilege to receive, after 2018 and 2021, the recognition as 2022 Highly Cited Researcher (HRC) by Clarivate. Only 6,938 out of abut 8M researchers have received this recognition. Citation numbers are not the most important parameter in science, but I am grateful to our team and collaborators that the community so well receives our works. I am also honored to be the only 2022 HRC of Saarland University and only 1 of 2 if counting the University Hospital, too.
I am honored to receive the 2022 Zhaowu Tian Prize for Energy Electrochemistry. This award by the International Society of Electrochemistry recognizes the achievements in the field of electrochemistry for energy of my team and I. I am fortunate to join the list of awardees which includes from past years Xiangfeng Duan (2017), Fabio la Mantia (2018), Zhichuan (Jason) Xu (2019), and Joaquín Rodríguez-López (2021). Coming in the year of my 40th birthday and the 10-year-anniversary of being a PI at the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials, I am grateful to not just my team but also our esteemed collaborators, especially dear friends such as Michael Naguib, Guang Feng, Christian Prehal, Yury Gogotsi, Veronica Augustyn, and so many more!

Welcome new Postdoc Dr. Delvina Japhet Tarimo! Delvina is from University of Pretoria, South Africa, and will be working on nanoporous materials and next-generation batteries.
Chandrasekaran Sakthi Vigneshwaran is a Master student working on next-generation Prussian blue based electrode materials for advanced batteries. Congratulations on being awarded a three month fellowship by the StudienStiftungSaar!
Dr. Samantha Husmann will attend the prestigious 2022 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting this week. She is one of only 611 young scientists selected in a highly competitive process from across the globe. This year, the topic is chemistry, perfectly reflected by Samantha’s research on next generation electrochemical materials (including, but not limited to, Prussian blue and Prussian blue analogues). Her positive energy and visionary research perspective will enrich the LINO22!

Immensely proud of my former Ph.D. student and now Dr. Yuan Zhang for being awarded the prestigious Feodor Lynen Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation! She will join the team of Yury Gogotsi and her work will relate to MXene. Looking forward to strengthening also trilateral opportunities between the US, China, and Germany!
5.3 Million seconds. 87,660 hours. 10 years. But who is counting😅
Time flies by fast when you are busy. Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the Energy Materials Group, my work family, and home away from home. Starting after returning from Yury Gogotsi‘s team (where I served as Humboldt Fellow and Research Assistant Professor) on June 1st, 2012, I had the privilege of creating my own group thanks to a 3.6 M€ starting grant from Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung at the INM-Leibniz Institute for New Materials. We quickly diversified in topics at the energy/water research nexus, ranging now from supercapacitors to batteries, from capacitive deionization to desalination fuel cells, from ionic charge storage to ion separation. A strong backbone of our team is the ability to go all the way from material synthesis and characterization to in situ testing and (small) device benchmarking. I am grateful to our teams many alumni and alumnae, the wonderful people in our current great team, and the amazing people I am yet to meet and work with. I am very grateful to our collaborators and partners in research and science. I will abstain from giving a complete list, but I would be amiss not to mention a few very special collaborators (in alphabetical order): Doron Aurbach, Veronica Augustyn, Guang Feng, Markus Gallei, Yury Gogotsi, Frank Mücklich, Michael Naguib, Christian Prehal, Patrice Simon, Matthew Suss.
What will we be working on over the course of the next 10 years? I always tell students: the topic you may become famous for may be on a material who you have not hear from yet 😉 So I will refrain from any specific speculation here since we all know “time makes fools out of us all”. We will continue to advance our research on sustainable materials, energy materials recycling, control over ion selectivity, and high performance beyond-lithium energy storage technologies. And to push forward with our industry collaborators to transfer our next-next-generation materials and processes into applications. I cannot wait for it!
Let me close with a few accomplishments of our team from the last 10 years:
220 Peer review publications 6 Nature publishing group publications 16,489 total citations (23,662 if you include <2012)
