NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months
* Down in 2025
* Still below Mar 2024
* Clean energy wave a key factor
If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far…

Very aware that none of this happens without a brilliant research group and collaborators around me.
Braf iawn oedd cael sgwrs gyda Angharad Rhys o BBC Cymru Fyw am fy nhaith aflinol mewn gwyddoniaeth.
Yn ogystal â electrocemeg a chatalyddu, buom yn trafod Syr John Meurig Thomas, a pham mae cynhwysiant yn hollbwysig os ydym am lwyddo i ddatrys problemau mawr y byd drwy wyddoniaeth.
Great to chat with BBC Cymru about my non-linear path in science.
Alongside electrocatalysis, we touched on everything from Sir John Meurig Thomas to why EDI really matters in materials science.

Free speech and academic freedom killed off in the USA in less than 3 months.
What a shining star in the @royalsociety.org fellowship. They must be so proud.
Thanks to all co-authors who featured on either or both of these papers: @romaintort.bsky.social Anna, Jesus, Johannes, @titiricigroup.bsky.social, Sihang, Soren, Yuxiang, Georg and Mary!
In this separate contribution we show how to make a C-N bond on a biomass derivative: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Well done Zamaan et al!
Here we show-contrary to conventional wisdom-that carbon materials can be used as gas diffusion electrodes for Li mediated N2 reduction pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... Well done @craigburdis.bsky.social et al!!
I am delighted to share two new papers from @interfacial-ec.bsky.social
The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for @carbonbrief.org providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.

The @royalsociety.org should stand up for the scientific community and eject Elon Musk.
Congratulations @mariaescesc.bsky.social! Such well deserved recognition of your countless achievements! I am sure Queen Laetizia was ever so impressed too! www.20minutos.es/noticia/5681...
I finished off yesterday at the Queens Arms at the pub catching up with Soren Scott who has now been Assistant Professor at @ucph.bsky.social for 15 months! Although we miss him sorely at @interfacial-ec.bsky.social, I am so pleased to see he is going from strength to strength in Copenhagen!
Fascinating to hear fresh perspectives from civil service, industry and academia at panel discussion on the role of batteries in delivering clean power by 2030 with Mary Ryan, Greg Offer, Lee McDonough, Martin Freer and Juliette Sanders.
Jingyu showed Martin Freer, James Gaade and Matthew Howard around the brand new high throughput battery equipment he is commissioning for @digibat.bsky.social as we strive towards a self driving lab!
We had a fascinating day showing the Faraday Institution leadership around Imperial yesterday with @titiricigroup.bsky.social @jingyuf.bsky.social @lonepair.bsky.social and many more.
Well done @silviafavero.bsky.social Ruixan, Joyce, Luke, Hui, Mengnan, @titiricigroup.bsky.social and @abagger.bsky.social! Great team work!!
Here we relate CV peaks and O2 reduction activity on Fe macrocycles, combining, electrochemistry, XAS and DFT pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Delighted to be back at ICN2 @mariaescesc.bsky.social one year on from my last visit. Maria has amassed an exceptionally talented team (some new faces, some old friends), augmented by state-of the-art equipment! ¡Gracias por la invitación!

So happy to be reunited with Arthur, my childhood teddy bear for Christmas!
The UK continues to quietly force trans adults to detransition. It was never about trans youth. Doctors in the UK are withdrawing hormones without warning and cutting tags people off even after decades of being on HRT.

Time to share some of our latest publications: This one led by @angus-pedersen.bsky.social with amazing collaborators like @ifanstephens.bsky.social, Frédéric Maillard and Lior Elbaz looking at ionomer effect on degradation of Fe-N-C. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/GFWKEZ...
What a fun joint🎄 party @titiricigroup.bsky.social and @interfacial-ec.bsky.social had! Thanks to @craigburdis.bsky.social and Morven for the hard work in ensuring it ran to perfection! Who knew Morven was such a karaoke queen?
Finally!!!
