New article in Journal of Alloys and Compounds: operando Fe and Ta XAS bounds the division of labour between redox capacity and interfacial polarization in an aqueous oxide-heterostructure supercapacitor.
High-pressure homogenization enables rapid, scalable MXene delamination without chemical intercalants, with enhanced surface functionalization for tunable solvent dispersion.
New review in The Chemical Record: a device-centered decision framework for MOF, COF, and framework-derived electrodes — linking building-block chemistry to charge-storage mode, transport, and failure pathways under two-electrode operation.
Distinguished Seminar at Chulalongkorn University: Dr. Partha Pratim Pal (Wiley) on navigating manuscript submission, peer review, publication ethics, open science, and AI in scholarly publishing. Monday 27 July 2026, 10:00–11:30 AM.
New review in Journal of Energy Storage: the Accessibility–Reversibility–Containment (ARC) descriptor triad and evidence tiers that turn oxygen redox from a source of instability into a tractable design variable for high-energy sodium-layered oxide cathodes.
New single-authored review in Journal of Alloys and Compounds: treating alloy-based zinc anodes as a distinct materials-design field, with a cross-system descriptor framework linking composition, phase, and interface — and evidence standards for validating alloy effects.
