Karena Chapman

A sprinting start to materials synthesis 🏎️🏁 So much for leaving materials to bake over the weekend. We captured the first moments of a solid-state reaction using in situ X-rays and they go FAST! Mere minutes to Li4Ti5O12 anode🔋 @advancedphoton pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

🐚ACC isn't just amorphous CaCO₃🫟!? Its missing CO₃²⁻—replaced by Cl⁻ & NO₃⁻🧪. And only cleans up its composition as it crystallizes✨ Read more in @J_A_C_S with imaging📽️ & Xrays🔦🩻 @StonyBrookChem and NMR🧲@iowastatechem @efrcgenesis pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

@nozomi_ando @CornellChem Thanks for a fun visit!

@CornellChem was delighted to host @KChapLab last week! Here she is using a lightsaber as a pointer during her awesome talk! ⚡️

Self care tip💅from UiO66? Take it slow to fully relax. Using insitu Xrays🔦🩻 we see UiO66 shrinks when heated🔥 but only re-expands when cooled slowly🐢🧊. Cool too fast🏎️ & it gets trapped thanks to some twisted node dynamics! @SimonVornholt @J_A_C_S doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4…

🚨 We are hiring! We're looking for a new #chempostdoc to join our team at @StonyBrookChem, focusing on exploring the structure-function relationships in MOFs using insitu Xrays. Apply here: stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersection/…

Behold, it's alive!🩺This dynamic 2D COF pulses with vitality, shifting from closed🔒 to half-open🔗to open🔓phases in mere seconds⏱️, all observed in real-time with lightning-fast in-situ X-rays🔦🩻 @AdvancedPhoton. Check out now in @NatureChemistry doi.org/10.1038/s41557…

What do synchrotron Xrays🔦🩻 and a webcam🎥 have in common? We use both to study nanoparticle synthesis🍳!!! While Xrays see the atomic details, the webcam captures the bigger picture🖼️ AND we don't need to wait for beamtime📅💅 @BrySanMo @StonyBrookChem pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Designing single-atom catalysts. Solitary confinement🔒on POM clusters isolated in MOF pores. A team effort from our #CD4DC @ENERGY EFRC @ZhihengyuChen @StonyBrookChem @NU_Huppsters @rbgetman pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Today’s PMI/@pccm_mrsec seminar: Karena Chapman (@KChapLab) of @stonybrooku on “X-ray visions: Insights into functional energy materials”

Congrats to my collaborator and good friend Tina Nenoff on her election to the National Academy "for translating fundamental understanding of nanoporous materials into applications with societal and national security impact" #NAE2024

📢 Reminder: Don't overlook those small "extra" diffraction peaks! 👀 These were key to resolving CO2 binding in our latest collaboration on MOFs for Direct Air Capture 🌱🌍 @stonybrookchem with @farhomies and @ProfDravid pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Unleash the RAPTR 🦖 ROAR 🔥 Our in situ furnace provides a new window into dynamic structures and reaction kinetics by fast heating or quench cooling from RT to 1000C in less than 10s. @StonyBrookChem @EfrcGenesis

First coordination polymers with glassy charge transport, now CPs with spin glassing! Congrats to Andrew, Ie-Rang, @KChapLab, @ZhihengyuChen, Agnish, and @suri_lab on this cool work now out in @J_A_C_S. Look at that memory effect 😍! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

One year in and we've doubled our team to design catalysts for decarbonization

#OTB: Carbon capture is one strategy for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Researcher Karena Chapman and colleagues from @StonyBrookChem (New York) are using the Brockhouse beamline at CLS to study metal-organic frameworks as one potential “sponge” for soaking up CO2.

Greatful for @KochStephen and Michelle Millar for setting up the Franklin Award Lecture to bring inorganic chemistry trailblazers to @StonyBrookChem

Check out Jeremy’s recent publication highlighting his thesis work on the effects of dual layer electrodes for Li-ion batteries, which made the Editor’s Choice Spotlight!🔋🎉 …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce…

I'm back! Here to talk about the fantastic things we can learn about materials function from operando studies using high energy X-rays. @SydAnalytical

@ShustovaLab @UNISTMOON So great to see you down under. Safe travels.

My last day in Australia was brighten by talks from smart and beautiful #WomenInSTEM: Hoi Ri @UNISTMOON and Karena @KChapLab -very inspiring work about isotope separation, crystal growth, and fancy X-ray analysis! Love the country, people, and unique nature -need to come back!😊

@ShustovaLab @UNISTMOON @Pance_Naumov @GraceThaggard @BuddhimaMaldeni Great talk in a fantastic session.

Thank you Hoi Ri (문회리)@UNISTMOON for the invitation and organization of a fantastic symposium! #IUCr2023 Always pleasure to see @KChapLab and @Pance_Naumov in Melbourne and meet new friends as well!🙂 Thank you @ShustovaLab for ur work and congrats to Grace and Buddhima!🩷🩷
