14 days of strike action incoming at Newcastle University UCU newcastleucu.bsky.social🚨 Newcastle vice-chancellor has put 300 jobs on the line. He now needs to stop going half way round the world during a staff travel ban & get back to the negotiating table. ucu.org.uk/article/13915/…

Thank you for your support! 🇺🇦 __ Дякую вам за підтримку! 🇺🇦

Check out Emily’s paper in ACS Materials Letters on Li₂OHBr-derived glass solid electrolytes! Key takeaways: [1] hard to make (we used twin-roll quenching) [2] improved ion dynamics [3] unstable under pressure. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Remember when Kamala said, “I believe the reason why Donald Trump says the war will be over in 24 hours is cause he would just give it up.” Kamala was right. Rewatch every second of this.

Our new paper on optimising Li-Ion transport in LaCl3−xBrx solid electrolytes. Congratulations to Xudong on his first publication! 🥳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… EcoMat Newcastle Chemistry

Yesterday we said goodbye to Ana (Ana Carolina Dutra) who is leaving us this week for better things at Department of Physics at University of Oxford. Ana was the first PhD graduate from the group and will be sorely missed by all. I know she will do great at Oxford and in all her future endeavours! 🤩

What a Dalton conference! Nathan Davison and Jack gave talks, plus the posters from Xiao and Matthew! And Xiao won a Poster Prize!! UoBChemistry

Check out Emily’s paper! We explore a high-temp phase of Li₃(OH)₂Br (225–275 °C) with 0.12 S/cm Li-ion conductivity at 250 °C. We couldn't stabilise it at RT, forming a less conductive metastable phase. Key implications for the synthesis of Li₂OHBr. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

3rd chapter of Emily’s LiOH–LiBr trilogy: we investigate the peritectoid Li₄(OH)₃Br for thermal energy storage. The reported structure is a metastable hydrate. We synthesise the anhydrous phase and measure a melting enthalpy of 263 ± 3 J/g at ~290 °C pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
