AK Kornienko at the ECS in Montreal¹

Two of our group members - Farzaneh Farzinpour and Morgan McKee - took part in the Electrochemical Society (ESC) conference in Montreal together with Prof Kornienko and gave presentations there. Farzaneh: Molecular cages accelerate electrocatalytic NO3- reduction to NH3 Morgan: Hydrophobic assembly of molecular catalysts at the gas-liquid-solid interface drives highly selective CO2 electromethanation Nick: Heterogeneous Electrosynthesis of C–N, C–S and C–P Products Using CO2 as a Building Block

Very Exciting News from the AK Kornienko!³

Congratulations to our PhD student Morgan McKee, who has been accepted to participate in the 74th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (Chemistry). What an honour! Morgan successfully went through a complex selection process: Prof Kornienko had proposed him to the University as a potential candidate for the meeting. The University as Academic Partner agreed and nominated him in turn for participation in the Lindau Meeting. It followed a fairly extended online application over several weeks and finally an evaluation process by a scientific committee of the Lindau Meeting. And YAY, he has been selected!

Outreach event at the Group's laboratories⁶

We had a group of future chemists visiting our laboratory. A daycare centre sent the best of the best. They were able to experience the potential energy of gummy bears, floating soap bubbles and oxygen-cooled ice cream.
