July 2024:
- Peng is selected as the winner of 2024 ISE-Elsevier Prize in Experimental Electrochemistry from the International Society of Electrochemistry for “for pioneering development of techniques allowing for in-operando single-molecule, single-particle and single-reaction imaging represents a truly qualitative advance in experimental electrochemistry. His development of super-resolution microscopy to image reactions at the nanoscale on catalysts is fascinating and highly relevant for catalysis research.” See official announcement here.
- Ming’s blog post on Spring Nature Research Communities.
- Cornell Chronicle highlights Ming’s work: “A touch of gold has extra reach in degrading micropollutants.”
- Ming’s paper in developing a new imaging technique, adCOMPEITS, and using it to discover long-range adsorption enhancement on metal-cocatalyst-promoted photocatalyst appears online in Nature Catalysis. See pdf.
June 2024:
- We welcome Yujie Chen, an undergrad from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, in joining us for summer research this summer.
May 2024:
- Congratulations to Ming on the “acceptance in principle” by Nature Catalysis of his paper on “Long-range enhancement of micropollutant adsorption on metal-promoted photocatalysts.” Ming is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the National University of Singapore.
