Congratulations to my student Dr. Zahra Bayhan who officially graduated last night. We thank her for her contributions to the group and wish her the best of luck in her new position as Assistant Professor at Prince Nourah University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We are proud of you!

Congratulation to PhD student in our group (Mr. Zhengnan Tian). His review paper on electrolyte solvation structure design in Na-ion batteries is one of the top 10 most cited papers in Science Advances published between 1st January 2022 – 31st December 2023.

If you are interested in Aqueous Batteries, please check out our invited review just published in ACS Energy Letters on the role of hydrogen bonding in these batteries. KAUST PSE , KAUST , KAUST Research pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Exciting work from the group of Zhiping Lai (Prof of Chemistry & Co-Chair of the #KAUST Center for #RenewableEnergy & Storage Technologies, CREST) They have made another great step forward in developing their technology of #lithium extraction from different sources in the region

Exciting work from Prof. Andy Huang and colleagues on CO2-to-formic acid electrosynthesis. Formic acid is a highly promising hydrogen carrier, and the Huang group has established itself as a world leader in this emerging technology. HKW@KAUST
