Cooperative and inhibitory ion transport in functionalized angstrom-scale two-dimensional channels
New paper out in Nature Communications about unusual cooperative effects in ion transport under confinement. Lead ions pave the way to enhance the diffusion of potassium by coordinating the functional groups inside the channels. Very happy to have been able to help...
Yeti Chicago 7/11
7 hour race on the local trails out at Palos -- second place by a hair! Together we set the course record at 10 laps of the 4.5 mile course, just squeezed the last lap in with less than 5 minutes to spare. Second place by something like a minute at the end.
Water structure and dynamics drive ion motion in anion exchange polymers
New paper out in Nature Communications! We used a combination of methods including thin film conductivity, MD and 2D IR to study a dynamics in a new class of anion exchange polymer, connecting structural and dynamical properties from the ultrafast and microscopic all...
