Dave and Gihan’s recent JACS paper was featured in an Argonne press release!

Congratulations to Lars, Jens, Oleg, Karen, and collaborators, whose recent work on cobalt catalysts for aqueous H2 generation (here) was selected as a Supplementary Cover in Inorganic Chemistry!

Lisa’s recent publication on Z-scheme water splitting using photosynthetic membranes and artificial catalysts has been featured in an Argonne press release! The press release was also picked up by Science Daily and EurekAlert!

Congratulations to Lisa for earning a Spot Award in December 2018! Safety is a top priority in our work and we are thankful for Lisa’s safety leadership as we begin 2019!

Dave and Jens are headed a bit southeast of Argonne to attend the 44th Annual Midwest/Southeast Photosynthesis Meeting at Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, IN. Jens will be presenting the group’s work on mechanistic understanding of biohybrid photocatalysts.

Oleg and Ksenija have been invited to present at the 2018 N.I.C.E. Conference: Nature Inspires, Creativity Engineers! Ksenija will present her group’s latest work on “Metal-free Electro- and Photocatalysis”, and Oleg will present a talk describing the group’s collaborative work … Read More »
