Belatedly, we said our farewells to Dr. Ian Dillingham, who graced us with his undying positivity and love of puns! We send you off with top golf marks! #PhDone

Another ARPA-E Innovation Summit in the books! It was great seeing so many different ROSEI booths at this year's summit in San Diego, with Chao Wang, Yayuan Liu and Corey Oses all having at least one this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone at next year's summit in MD! #HopkinsEnergy

It has been a long time coming, but so excited to share the research journey of our former @jhuartssciences.bsky.social ugrad, Becky. She's now a PhD student at Princeton! Check out #MeetTheChemist insta edition! www.instagram.com/reel/DWrbeLB...

Gel Metal–Organic Frameworks in Highly Concentrated Electrolyte Promote Stable Solid-Electrolyte Interface on Lithium Metal Anodes Highly concentrated electrolytes (HCEs) have been shown to hinder dendrite formation and improve cyclability in Li-based batteries. Herein, we developed a novel strategy to use an electrolyte matrix c...

Congratulations to Dr. Osumi, Nathan, Greg, and former ugrad, Juan, on their publication in @pubs.acs.org ACS AMI! Check out our newest work on using gel #MOFs as a battery electrolyte!

Jill was a @energyathopkins.bsky.social postdoc, who worked on harnessing the power of light and porous materials for energy applications!

Today, we say goodbye to Dr. Jill Cleveland! Thank you for your hardwork and expertise for the last 2 years! So glad to be a part of your postdoctoral journey (joint with @susannamthon.bsky.social)! #Postdoc #Boba

Pore Choices: The Delicate Balance of Porosity and External Surface Area in Zirconium Metal–Organic Frameworks for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries Lithium–sulfur batteries are a promising energy storage system with a high theoretical energy density. A significant challenge in realizing this energy density is the polysulfide shuttle effect, where...

Congratulations to Arleth, Kyle, Becky (former ugrad), Alexis (visiting ugrad), and Khalil (HS student!) on their publication in ACS AMI! Come learn about the importance of external surface area and porosity of #MOFs for Li-S #batteries! Cheers to the #newyear! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

JHU is part of the new Learning Accelerated Domain Sciences (LEADS) Institute! DOE-funded, LEADS focuses on reshaping how AI supports scientific discovery. ROSEI's @drgona.bsky.social and Enrique Mallada, as well as Mahyar Fazlyab are involved. #HopkinsEnergy energyinstitute.jhu.edu/johns-hopkin...

Happy Holidays from the Thoi lab!

We were supposed to be ghosts... but alas, thwarted by the blue labcoat! Happy Halloween from the Thoi lab! #SafetyFirst

Going to ACS in DC next week? Check out these talks on electrified interfaces (George at 9:40 am on Tuesday, Hall E, Rm 19), ion-conducting MOFs (Ian at 11:30 am on Wed, Hall E, Rm 18), and electrochemical ammonia generation (Greg at 6 pm, Hall C)!!

Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Yuki Osumi! We couldn't be prouder of Yuki's accomplishments and will miss him dearly!

Excited to announce our newest PhD, Dr. Bennett! Way to go!

Thiophosphate-Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes as a Multifunctional Cathode Additive for Lithium–Sulfur Batteries Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are synthetically versatile and conductively tunable materials, making them attractive for energy storage applications. Building on our previous studies on phosphate-functional...

So excited to share Dr. Anayah and Ian's publication in ACS Applied Energy Materials @pubs.acs.org! We show that lesson learned in #MOFs can be applied to other materials system for Li-S batteries! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

How federally funded research helps save lives during an earthquake Support from the National Science Foundation helps civil engineers like Ben Schafer improve building codes and develop more resilient, cost-effective building materials

Our director Ben Schafer (@coldformed.bsky.social) recently participated in a Q&A discussing how support from NSF helps civil engineers improve building codes and develop more resilient, cost-effective building materials. See below to check it out! #HopkinsEnergy
