Hi all,
Tomorrow Rafa will give group meeting.
Note that this will be in the new time for the rest of the semester
(Wednesdays at 11 AM), but in a nonstandard location, M217 which is in the
Department Centre. For the rest of the semester we'll be back in the Div
Room but still at the Wednesday 11 AM slot.
See below for the title and abstract.
Best,
Ian

Title: Electrolytes for flow batteries: Episode VII - The electrophile
awakens
Abstract: In this new installment of an epic saga, we report progress in
the high-throughput search for organic electrolytes for aqueous flow
batteries. A brief introduction picks on the humble beginnings by C Suh, S
Er, A Aspuru-Guzik and collaborators (Nature 2014 505, 195-198; Chem Sci
2015 6 885), after which we will discuss recent advances. The following
topics will be discussed (i) library generation and reaction pathways; (ii)
quantum-chemical prediction of key performance parameters (redox potential,
aqueous stability, acid dissociation); (iii) single electrolyte solutions
for flow batteries; (iv) organic electrolytes beyond quinones.
