The Kornienko lab works to electrify chemical reactions in the overall direction of sustainability.

'Insights into Bimetallic CoFe Nanoparticles Incorporated on N-Doped Carbon Nanosheets toward Acidic Oxygen Reduction Reaction'

'Antimony and Bismuth Complexes as Visible Light Photosensitizers in Catalytic Oxidation Reactions'

'Accelerating lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction through an integrated palladium membrane hydrogenation reactor'

'Metal-like behavior of a 2D molecular catalyst enables redox-decoupled electrocatalysis'

The Instute of Inorganic Chemistry in Endenich hosted an engaging symposium on materials and sustainability. Researchers from Uni Melbourne, RMIT, the German Aerospace Institute DLR, Wuppertal, Cologne, and Bonn delivered talks and presented posters with the aim of comminucating their science and fostering collaboration. 

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

Shuai Chen's paper has been published in the journal Chem in March 2025. Shuai Chen was supported by Farzaneh Farzinpour and Nikolay Kornienko.
