On December 1st the PhD studente Eshaan Patheria from the research group of Kim See at Caltech visited our laboratory.
Eshaan seemed to enjoy a rainy science discussion with Jerry and Ziliang.
The group of Prof. Palacín at the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona, Spain could reproduce our predictions in Lu W., Wang J., Gautam G. S., Canepa P.; Chem. Mater., 33, 5809-5821 (2021) on CaV2O4 as cathode material for Ca-ion batteries.
More information about the novel experimental findings by the Palacín’s group can be found in Energy Storage Materials, 47, 354-364 (2022).
Today, July 30th, Baltej Singh published the exciting results of our research lead by our collaborator Dr. Dipan Kundu in the School of Chemical Engineering at UNSW, Australia.
The manuscript investigates the fundamental electro-chemo-mechanical stabilities of Lithium-Indium and Lithium-Tin alloys of varied Li stoichiometries with sulfide electrolyte based SSBs. The intermetallic electrodes developed through a controlled synthesis and fabrication technique display impressive (electro)chemical stability with Li6PS5Cl as the solid electrolyte and maintain nearly perfect interfacial contact during the electrochemical Li insertion/de-insertion under an optimal stack pressure.

Big congratulations to Baltej for his achievement!
On July 15th, Mr. Ziliang Wang has passed successfully the most important exam towards the fulfillment of his Phd in Materials Science and Engineeing at NUS. Big congratulations Ziliang towards your PhD achievements and success in science.
Most importantly, Ziliang salary now will be increased, which will allow him to pay your dinner.
On April 12th, 2021, the research work of Mr. Tara P. Mishra entitled Unlocking the Origin of Compositional Fluctuations in InGaN Light Emitting Diodes and developed by NUS and SMART was has received some press in a number of new outlets, which are:

On February 5th, the research work of Mr. Tara P. Mishra entitled Unlocking the Origin of Compositional Fluctuations in InGaN Light Emitting Diodes was published in Physical Review Materials. Tara developed a powerful methodology to detect the formation of In clusters in high Indium content InxGa1-xN LEDs quantum wells (QWs). His study showed a direct comparison between the computationally predicted and experimentally observed compositional fluctuations.
Autonomous detection of compositional fluctuations in InxGa1-x samples.
He found that although a random alloy model captures the distribution of compositional fluctuations in relatively low In (~18%) content InxGa1-xN QWs, there exists a striking deviation from the model in higher In content (~24 %) QWs. The results highlight a distinct behaviour in carrier localization driven by compositional fluctuations in the low and high In-content InxGa1-xN QWs, which would ultimately affect the performance of LEDs.
