"Grand Challenges and Opportunities in Stimulated Dynamic and Resonant Catalysis" chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr... @matteomonai.bsky.social

This is one of the weirdest and most intriguing catalysts I have encountered. A real head-scratcher! For the story, see the comments. OPEN ACCESS PAPER: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Had a great time visiting @pauldauenhauer.bsky.social and his group at the University of Minnesota last week. Thanks, Paul for the hospitality and for inviting me to give a talk on the effect of dynamic stress on catalysis at the annual meeting of the Center for Programmable Energy Catalysis.

Check out the supplementary cover of ACS Catalysis, which highlights my perspective on operando spectroscopy for metal catalyst characterization! Graphics credits: Júlio Arvellos and his studio Tempo 3D Studio. LINK TO PERSPECTIVE: lnkd.in/dWWWh68Y LINK TO COVER: lnkd.in/dvE2Udm3

It's finally out! Check out my perspective on CO IR interpretation and a new proposed method to get more out of operando IR spectroscopy. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

In our new #preprint out on ChemRxiv @chemrxiv.bsky.social, we show evidence of mobile and reactive hydrides of silica, formed by hydrogen spillover in Ni/SiO2 catalysts. Congrats to Bram Kappé and the team that made this possible!

Want to hear a #catalyst play music? And hear how this can improve reaction rates? Come to my demo at Chains 2024 in the exhibition hall!

Yesterday @pauldauenhauer.bsky.social gave a great lecture at the Institute for Sustainable and Circular Chemistry at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social. Really enjoyed the discussion and dinner. Have many new recommendations for movies and books too!
