The role of chemistry on ion transport in confined environments
I'm very glad to have contributed to this new study on the ionic conduction in functionalized MoS2 membranes, which was spearheaded by the groups of Chong Liu and George Schatz. Using FTIR we could correlate the strength of the interaction between the carboxylate...
Fermi or double-well? New insights into zeolite spectroscopy
Our new paper on the IR spectroscopy of hydrated zeolites is out in JPCB! We revisit an enigmatic doublet in the IR spectrum of HZSM5 at low hydration state and argue that the accepted assignment as a Fermi resonance is difficult to reconcile with the spectral...
Potential dependent 2D IR spectra of a molecular monolayer — the plasmon is not superficial
Check out our new letter published in JPCL, Vibrational Probe at the Electrochemical Interface: Dependence on Plasmon Coupling and Potential on the Lineshape in Two-Dimensional Infrared Spectroscopy. We discuss some effects that are relevant in 2D IR spectroscopy of...
