Our recent mechanistic investigation of the electrochemical CO reduction on Cu suggests C-C coupling is no the rate limiting step. Reaction order of adsorb CO never reaches 2 despite of our best efforts. Check it out at:onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Happy to share our recent work on the cation effect in the CO2RR, which is highlighted as a cover work in @ACSCatalysis We show that an existing theory is unlikely to hold but truth of how cations impact electrocatalytic reactions is still out there! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…
Happy to share our latest collaborative work with Prof. Qi Lu's group @Tsinghua_Uni on electric field and non-electric field modes of the cation effect in electrocatalysis via combined reactivity and spectroscopic investigations. @ScienceAdvances advances.sciencemag.org/cont…
Check out our latest work with Qi Lu @Tsinghua_Uni showing coelectrolysis of CO2 and O2 enhances C2+ production. In situ SERS again demonstrates its capability to identify key surface intermediates. @UDChBE nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Another of our recent works highlighted in as the journal cover!
Cover: Stability of the ketyl radical as a descriptor in the electrochemical coupling of benzaldehyde – free to read for six weeks! Led by Bingjun Xu, ow.ly/ezGZ50zRbiC
Excited to have our recent in situ SERS work with @Jiao_Lab and Dean Levi Thompson highlighted as a cover of @J_A_C_S ! @UDChBE @UDengineering
Excited that our work on zeolite encapsulated metal NPs for selective tandem catalysis has been highlighted in the @ACSCatalysis cover @UDengineering @UDChBE @CatalysisCenter: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…
Check out new work in collaboration with @PengBai0507
on the solvent effect on the adsorption and protonation in porous catalysts @UDChBE @UDengineering: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Our work on the role of hydroxide (or the lack of) in the CO reduction reaction in collaboration with Qi Lu's group @Tsinghua_Uni has been highlighted as the cover of @angew_chem. @UDChBE @UDengineering onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Check out our new work on electrocatalytic C-C coupling between CO and acetaldehyde. @UDelaware @UDengineering Quantitative NMR analysis is informative but exhausting...

Mix Chicken poo with #graphene and you get superdoped #electrocatalyst. See our paper: Will Any Crap We Put into Graphene Increase Its Electrocatalytic Effect? Will humanity start [trade]war over highly valuable chicken guano? pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… @acsnano @VSCHT @CEITEC_Brno
First paper in 2020 came out on renewable adipic acid production @UDChBE, and it came out two years after the first author (Matt Gilkey) graduated!
pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…
Our recent work @UDChBE in @ACSCatalysis demonstrates the molecular intimacy between acid and metal sites is key to mediating tandem catalysis: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Our work @UDChBE @UDengineering on the impact of the forced convection on spectroscopic observations in CORR came one line in @ACSCatalysis. The key take home message is that stirring matters in correlating spectroscopic with reactivity results. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Our latest work @UDChBE in collaboration with Qi Lu's group @Tsinghua_Uni on the role of hydroxide (or the lack of) in CORR came out with a provocative title😎 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

A 50y old memo wrote by our department legend T W Fraser Russell, who passed away last week. Some good points are still relevant even after almost fifty years.
An introductory tutorial in @Joule_CP for reliably measuring rates of heterogeneous catalytic reactions in collaboration with Prof. Ding Ma @PKU1898 . Not a substitute for a rigorous catalysis course, but a good start nonetheless. cell.com/joule/fulltext/S254…
