🌟We're thrilled to introduce our next keynote speaker, David Vermaas, a leading expert in CO2 electrolysis! 🔬 As CO2 electrolysis matures, the urgency for scalable stacks increases. David will discuss the state-of-the-art technology, addressing key challenges like water management, salt deposition, and electrode lifetime. He will highlight the path towards developing MW-scale electrolyzer stacks, exploring GDE- and MEA-based configurations and the potential of fully aqueous cells to operate at high partial current density. 👨🔬 David Vermaas earned his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Twente. He co-founded AquaBattery and was appointed Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology in 2016. He has an impressive track record, including an ERC Starting Grant and coordination of the MELODY project. His work focuses on Electrochemical Flow Systems, with collaborations across universities and companies globally.

[RPI C&CB series: Meet the Department] This week's highlight: The Research Group of Prof. Chulsung Bae Professor Bae has been at RPI for 12 years. His research group is working on synthesis and characterization of ion conducting polymers that can play a key role in electrochemical energy conversion technologies. The active research projects include generation of green hydrogen by water splitting with electricity (i.e., electrolyzer), electrification of hydrogen with help of oxygen in air (i.e., hydrogen fuel cells), and conversion of CO2 to carbon fuels by electrochemical reduction with water and electricity (i.e., electrochemical CO2 reduction). His research activity focuses on not only fundamental understanding of polymer synthesis and property but also practical applications of polymer materials developed from research program.

On 20 Feb, Materials Australia (Co-hosted by Materials Australia Vic Branch, RMIT RDF team, Computational Research and Electrochemical Networks) had a presentation from Dr. Ernane de Freitas Martins (ICN2, Barcelona/Spain). He showed us the most recent results obtained in collaboration with the group at RMIT University. He also presented the innovative molecular modeling method (NEGF-QM/MM) developed in ICN2, where both solvent and voltage effects can be taken into account in the simulations, which are being applied to corrosion science for the first time. The results obtained by Dr. Martins and our shared Ph.D. students (José María Castillo, Mazhar Iqbal, and Michael Morgan), led by Dr. Pablo Ordejón in ICN2 and myself in RMIT University, demonstrate the capabilities of the new method and its potential applications to electrochemistry problems. The work is capable of building models that represent the real physical environment but can describe processes at the molecular and so lead to new understanding and chemical design principles #materialsscience #materialsengineering #materialsresearch #materials #electrochemical #molecular #computationalthinking #virtualdesign Ivan Cole

Our group's latest research on photoelectrochemical water splitting has been published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces and featured as cover article. This work explores a novel approach to chlorine generation, a feedstock with significantly higher economic value than the conventional by-product, oxygen. We used thin film photoanodes created through pulsed laser deposition, featuring a crystalline bismuth vanadate light absorber and a cobalt oxide catalyst. By optimizing the thickness of the cobalt oxide, we achieved efficient chlorine generation while ensuring the chemical robustness that protects the underlying bismuth vanadate from corrosion. This research not only showcases the simultaneous production of chlorine and hydrogen through solar water splitting in brine but also offers valuable insights into harnessing by-products with substantial economic value. Plus, it cleverly sidesteps the energy-intensive oxygen evolution reactions. Check out the full article in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces!

I’m so proud to share that our group’s recent research progress in photoelectrochemical water splitting has been published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces and has been selected as journal cover. As a key chemical industry feedstock that consumes 1% of global electricity for production, chlorine has far higher economical value than oxygen, the by-product of conventional water splitting. Thin film photoanodes are fabricated by pulsed laser deposition, with crystalline bismuth vanadate light absorber and cobalt oxide catalyst. Chlorine generation is optimized with certain thickness cobalt oxide, which is chemically robust and effectively protects the underlying bismuth vanadate against corrosion. This research demonstrates that solar water splitting in brine produces chlorine simultaneously with hydrogen, by using a bismuth vanadate thin film photoanode capped with few-nm-thick cobalt oxide, also provides insights into using solar water splitting for by-products that carry significant economic value while avoiding the energetically expensive oxygen evolution reactions. This research was fully carried out at and supported by Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), which is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility, at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). I’d like to appreciate my advisor Dr. Mingzhao Liu for supervising and supporting my PhD research, our senior group member Dr. Chenyu Zhou to offer me infinite help, and collaborators of this work, Mr. Kisslinger Kim, Dr. Tharanga R.

New CBE Publication: Eric Cochran and colleagues published a study that developed an rGO-supported NiCo2O4/NiS nanocomposite that significantly enhances the degradation of pollutants like diclofenac and bromophenol blue. This approach leverages the unique properties of nickel cobaltite and nickel sulfide, along with the expansive surface area of reduced graphene oxide, to achieve remarkable degradation rates. Findings suggest NC/NS/rGO nanocomposite could be an effective water purification technology.
