Our paper on “Colloidal amphiphile-templated growth of highly crystalline mesoporous non-siliceous oxides” was accepted to publish in Chemistry of Materials!

Congratulations to Ben and co-authors.

We welcome two visiting Professors joined us recently.

Dr. Huiqin Yao is currently an Associate Professor at Ningxia Medical University. She is co-hosted with Prof. Rusling and will stay with us for a year.

Dr. Hongqiang Li is currently an Associate Professor at South China University of Technology. His research background is in nanocomposite materials.

 

Jiafu Chen will spend the summer with us. Jiafu is from Lanzhou, China and he is currently a Chemistry junior from Fudan Univeristy. He wined the summer research fellowship from Fudan University. This will support him to work with us for one month. Welcome, Jiafu!

 

Our paper on “Amphiphilic hybrid nano building blocks with surfactant-mimicking structures” was accepted to publish in ACS Macro Letter! Congratulations to Weikun and co-authors.

Robert Daniels will spend the summer with us. He is from Minnesota, and currently a Chemistry Junior at St. Cloud State University. He will work with Dr. Ben Liu on the preparation of mesoporous oxides using polymer-tethered colloidal amphiphiles. Welcome and enjoy!

Our paper on “Ligand-assisted co-assembly approach towards mesoporous transition metal oxide/noble metal hybrid catalysts for photochemical water oxidations” was accepted to publish in Angew Chem! Congratulations to Ben and co-authors.

Our paper on “Facet-dependent catalytic activity of MnO electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions” was accepted to publish in ChemComm!

Our paper on “Robust mesoporous manganese oxide catalysts for water oxidation” was accepted to publish in ACS Catalysis!

Congratulations to Chunghao and co-authors.

Our paper on “pH-programmable self-assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles: hydrophobic interaction versus electrostatic repulsion” was accepted to publish in Nanoscale! Congratulations to Weikun and co-authors.
