161221 Kevin and Yeyuan got married! Congratulations!

161220 The group had a dinner at Tandoori to celebrate the upcoming Christmas break. Yammy and spicy Kurma! ​

​161210 Bo, Cam, and Zayn's paper on "A Long Cycling Aqueous Organic Redox Flow Battiery (AORFB) for Sustainable and Safe Energy Storage" was accepted by J. Amer. Chem. Soc.  This newly invented ferrocene/viologen aquesous redox flow battery sets a new record on the energy density and cyling performance for AORFBs. Congratulations!

161201 Shuijian, Kevin, and Jian's invited review article on "Recent Advances on MgCl2 Based Electrolytes for Rechargeable Mg Batteries" was accepted by Energy Storage Materials. The reviews summarized our contributions to the new generation Mg electrolaytes for rechargeable Mg batteries. Congratulations! 
​

​161204  Allysa did a presentation on her Ni catalysts for renewable energy converion including hydrogen productiona and CO2 reduction. Well done! Allysa was also selected to present her research at Utah Capital Hill Reseach Symposium on the behalf of USU in Jan 2017. Comgratulations!  

161004  Leo, Cam and Bo attended 2017 USATR Annul Confluence in Salt Lake City. Can and Bo present two poster presentations on our newly invented aqueous redox flow batteries that attracted the director of USTAR, Ivy Estabrooke, to learn our technologies.
​

​160901 Allysa Sams joined the group as our firsth female undergraduate researcher. Welcome! 

160819 Jared, Shuijian, and Kevin present on the Utah Inorganic Organometallic Syposium at University of Utah. It was a fun day!

160726  Leo delivered an invited presentation at TSRC Workshop "Interfacial Chemistry and Charge Transfer for Energy Conversion and Storage", Telluride, CO. It was a great pleasure to meet old friends.
