Apr. 8. 2024. Basirat's paper on "anti-Li3N" cation-disordered niobium tungsten oxide has been published on JACS. Working this structure out is like having an intense class of crystallography. Please take a look. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jacs.3c14275

 

Apr 1. 2024. Alex's paper on electron localization of cation-disordered rock salts has been published on ACS Energy Letters. The beautiful resonance effect is just so interesting and it can tell so much about their battery properties. Please take a look. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsenergylett.4c00264

​

Jan. 2024. Assembling the pieces for a glovebox-friendly fiber-optics-based spectroscopic/microscopic system. Will work it out.

​

Dec. 1. 2024. Some pouch cell parts arrived. Can't wait to use some spectroscopic tools to see what's going on inside. 

 

Nov. 2023. Dongchang gave two talks in MRS Fall. Learned a lot of new knowledge and got to know many brilliant peers. 

 

Nov. 2023. We have constructed a customized micro-UV Raman system. We are amazed by the beautiful spectra the system gives and very much enjoy the fluorescence-enabled alignment to see the dark light. :)

 

​Oct. 31. 2023. Congratulate You Wang's paper has been online at Adv Mat. We conducted a series of delicate experiments in tuning the over-stoichiometric site occupancy in disordered rock salts and understanding its role in their electrochem and spectroscopic properties. Please take a look: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/adma.202306396

​

Aug. 2023. Dongchang gave a talk at ACS National at San Francisco. Got to know a lot of brilliant people. :)

​

July. 2023. We built a compact and efficient fiber optics-based solid-state UV-Vis absorption system. Compact and powerful.
