American style "home run": 4 JACS publications in 4 months

Our group has scored what's called in the American baseball jargon a 'home run' after publishing four studies in the Journal of American Chemical Society (JACS) in less than four months. The four papers demonstrate the versatility of the scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) technique developed in this group, which can be applied to various aspects of research; from probing facets and grain boundaries of pseudo-single-crystal polycrystalline electrodes to nanoscale patterning, and landing single-nanoparticles on surfaces to study catalysis.

Diamond paper feature on inside cover at Angewandte Chemie

Another paper by the group featured as an inside back cover of the high-impact journal Angewandte Chemie. In this Communication, high-resolution electrochemical imaging, micro-Raman, and electron-microscopy data revealed heterogeneous electron-transfer (HET) kinetics correlate directly with the local density of electronic states in boron-doped diamond.

Carbon nanotube forest paper featured in “Chemistry World”

The RSC magazine “Chemistry World” highlighted the Chem. Commun. paper by Tom Miller et. al. showing that the sidewalls and closed ends of CNs both promote fast electron transfer, in contrast to the current model in literature.

Basal plane graphite electrochemistry featured on the inside cover of Angewandte Chemie

A study by Stanley Lai et. al. in the electron transfer at basal plane graphite has recently been featured as a ‘Very Important Paper’ and on the inside cover of Angewandte Chemie. In this paper, it is unequivocally shown that electron transfer across the graphite basal surface is fast, in sharp contrast to the current textbook model that pictures the basal surface as either inert or to only support very slow electron transfer, demonstrating the need for a radical revision of the current model.
