McCalla Lab

Issue 2 of EES Batteries is now published online and open access! Have a read through the issue here: pubs.rsc.org/en/Journals/Jo… and take a look at our cover articles from James Robinson (@uclchemeng), Peng Tan and @MccallaLab (@McGillChemistry) below!

You can learn more about this paper from Eric here: youtube.com/watch?v=XNu1aL…

Don’t miss the EES Batteries study by Maxime Blangero, Eric McCalla and colleagues on the impact of metal doping in cathodes using high-throughput experiments and machine learning. Read their work for free: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @mcgillu

Eric discute du potentiel des piles à base de sodium avec Patrick de Bellefeuille de MétéoMédia. meteomedia.com/fr/nouvelles/c…

Read my latest @JMaterChem C publication here now! My labs first study into semiconducting delafossites. xlink.rsc.org/?doi=10.1039/D…

In a recent perspective published in @JPhysChem, Eric presents the varied benefits of doping with over 60 different elements into battery materials. The outlook for braving the elements in this way is bright, particularly when coupled to machine-learning. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Electrodes with 100% active materials ¦ Eric McCalla discusses a new study on a sulfide-based cathode material for a radical redesign of all-solid battery electrodes with lower cost and cell design complexity. buff.ly/46QsBip

Submissions for the MRS Spring 2025 Symposium open Tuesday, Sept. 17! Join us in Seattle next April for exciting talks on lab automation and AI/ML in materials discovery. Alongside @ChrisJBartel, @MccallaLab, and @ ChenLing, we look forward to seeing you! mrs.org/meetings-event…

Our first semiconductor paper is now published in @JMaterChem C!🚀 Together with Prof. Kirk Bevan, we explored the tunability of transport properties in semi-exfoliated AgxCoO2−δ (0.4 < x < 1) crystals. Great job Marc and team! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

This work screened the effect of 52 different elements on Titanium Niobate to enhance its performance as high-power Li-ion anode in high-safety batteries By Eric McCalla et al. @mcgillu Read the paper 👉 go.acs.org/a8J

Lithium is used widely in batteries, but it's a finite resource. Now a team from @mcgillu @McGillChemistry has come up with a way to replace most of the lithium in batteries with sodium. bit.ly/3WfjzI2 #batteries #advancedmaterials

Our recent Sodium cathode paper is now out! 🚀 In this study, we systematically explored the benefits of Ni substitution in Na–Fe–Mn–O Cathodes. Great job @MarziehAH and team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

We are super proud of Shipeng Jia for winning a 2024 ECS Canada Section Student Award! Way to go Shipeng! electrochem.org/canada-student…

New paper: Improving Li-Ion Anodes with Systematic Elemental Doping in Titanium Niobate #batteries @McGillChemistry @mcgillu pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Pick of the Week, out #OpenAccess in @ChemElectroChem by @MauzerollGroup & @McCallaLab + friends: "Overcoming Challenges in #Electrosynthesis Using High-Throughput Electrochemistry: Hypervalent Iodine-Mediated Phenol Dearomatization, a Case Study" ow.ly/lP3K50RHeTs

Excited to share our recent Na-ion cathode paper, with proof that we have indeed heard about this machine-learning fad! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ae…

What is holding up the ‘rust-salt’ battery? In a recent review in Energy & Environmental Science,  we explore with our industrial partner @UmicoreGroup how air/moisture instability is preventing wide use of Mn,Fe-based layered oxides as Na-ion cathodes. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

High-Throughput Electrochemistry for Reaction Optimization: A “home-made” reactor capable of running up to 24 individually controlled electrosyntheses chemistryviews.org/high-throughpu…

What? The McCalla lab does organic electrosynthesis? Only with great collaborators @MauzerollGroup, khaliullin and Canesi groups. Way to go @ant_juno and team! …mistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ce…

Very excited to announce our latest work on garnet solid electrolytes published in Advanced Energy Materials. We demonstrate the consequence of doping on structure and show the wide tunability of numerous intrinsic properties needed for viable batteries. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ae…
