Lanthanide transport in MoS2 channels
Check out our paper on studying the transport of lanthanide ions in functionalized MoS2 channels. In this work, we point to new possibilities for designing membranes for tricky lanthanide separations.
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...
