Using amorphous solid electrolytes opens up new possibilities for overcoming the limitations on ion transport found in crystalline halide structures. Nevertheless, achieving superionic Na⁺ conductivity in these types of materials remains an unsolved problem. Are you curious whether amorphization involving mixed anions is an effective design strategy for high-performance sodium-ion solid electrolytes? Be sure to…
We are delighted to announce that research group led by prof. McGimsey, composed of members of the SYLINDA team, conducted unique research using SR-XRF and XANES techniques to test two intriguing hypotheses regarding the mounds on the Louisiana State University campus in the United States – whether the mound was built in two phases, separated…
The hottest news from the Sylinda group! We are delighted to announce that Dr. Lulu Alluhaibi, who joined the Sylinda team in 2023, is a co-author of an outstanding paper published in the Science journal Photocatalytic C=C bond cleavage is an important route to oxygenated compounds, but conventional methods rely on hazardous oxidants or O₂.…
Do you know how important research on boron clusters is? If not, you should dive into a publication led by prof. Adam Slabon, which discusses the synthesis of compounds containing the complex anion [Au(B₁₁H₁₁)₂]³⁻ and derivatives of [M(B₁₁H₁₁)₂]³⁻ (M = Cu, Ag and Au). One of the important measurements was conducted on…
