Congrats to our own Elvis Umaña for receiving the highly prestigious U.S. National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship! Elvis studies ion transport properties in concentrated electrolytes using both experimental and data science approaches, and is co-advised with the Zavala Lab.

We are happy to announce that Hrishikesh Tupkar, a 2nd year PhD student in our lab, has been awarded the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship! Hrishikesh is working on next-generation batteries with enhanced safety and performance. Congrats!

Come check out our Engineering EXPO outreach activities! Our group put together a demonstration illustrating the role of electrolyte design in sustainable production of energy!

We're very happy to have a featured customer story from Teledyne Photometrics about our imaging work on ion transport and structuring! Very happy with our imaging capabilities.

Check out our latest work, led by Jack McAlpine! We show that modulating entropic driving forces using molecular rigidity can suppress lithium coordination to anions, enabling high lithium mobility in solid organic electrolytes! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Gebbie group boating trip to celebrate the end of a great year!

If you happen to be around NC State University and attending the ACS Colloid and Surface Sciences conference, make sure to stop by and hear Ryan’s talk about measuring ion diffusion in ion-rich electrolytes!

The electric double layer is emerging as a hot research topic for sustainable electrochemistry technologies.⚡️ Learn the fundamentals in our newest post by Sam Johnstone and Seth Anderson. interfaces.che.wisc.edu/what-is-an-ele…

Best highlights from group meeting today: “High-fives make you your best self.” “Your brain doesn’t know if a high-five is from yourself or someone else.” “Here’s the economics of a high-five.”

Check out our latest work, led by Wenxiao Guo! We show suppressing anionic co-ion generation using cationic proton sources amplifies interfacial electric fields, leading to higher activity of electrochemical CO2 reduction in nonaqueous electrolytes. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Curious about how proton donation impacts interfacial electric fields? Using CO2 reduction and planar cations as reporters, we discovered relative charges of proton donors can help explain "local pH effects" in electrocatalysis. Congrats Wenxiao Guo! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Interested in the interplay between ion correlations and electrocatalysis? Check out our new invited ACS Catalysis perspective! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

In our newest paper, out now in Soft Matter, we look at how ion entropy influences double layer formation and electrocatalysis: doi.org/10.1039/D3SM01…

Excited about our paper on why aromatic cations are unique promoters of CO2 reduction! Wenxiao Guo’s sendoff work links catalytic activity to an unexplored interaction that is the electrostatic mirror of cation-pi interactions - a 2024 JMCA HOT paper 🔥 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I am excited to announce that I am going to launch my own research group as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Tulane University ! I am m so grateful for the experiences and support I have had at Matthew Gebbie’s GebbieLab and looking forward to this new chapter💚
