🔥 Alex Eala knocks out No.14 seed Tauson 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (11) and becomes the first Filipina 🇵🇭 woman to record a singles win at a Grand Slam in the Open Era! VAMOOOOS‼️

The first final of many finals, @AlexEala05! 👏🏻

PhD/Postdoc position in my group is open now 🚀 Are you interested in catalysis within MOFs/COFs? Want a brand-new environment? Apply or ask me anything by June 27, 2025! Repost appreciated 🤝 ipoc.uni-stuttgart.de/pcmc/positions…

😃 After winning and 😃☺️ after losing. ❤️ Alex Eala 🇵🇭❤️

We can’t stop crying 🥹 Alex Eala 🇵🇭 stuns World No. 2 Swiatek 6-2, 7-5 to reach the @MiamiOpen semifinals!

Congratulations Alex! What a great win for you and for 🇵🇭! 👏🏻

Once again… THE BIGGEST WIN OF HER CAREER! 😍 Alex Eala defeats another Grand Slam Champion!! She defeats Keys in straight sets and is into the final 16 of the @MiamiOpen! Mabuhay 🇵🇭!

At today's #FrontiersForum Deep Dive, Prof Kazunari Domen outlined water-splitting advances to create green hydrogen, a cheap & scalable alternative to fossil fuels. Thanks to our panel @CMPelicano, Jonas Moberg @gh2org & Diana Sannino. Video coming soon!

Scaling photocatalytic hydrogen production requires improved efficiencies, investments in sustainable energy infrastructure, & stringent safety & environmental standards. -Markus Antonietti & @CMPelicano of @MpiciPotsdam in their viewpoint, published in Frontiers in Science ⬇️

A hub of expert articles outlines next steps for deploying solar water splitting to produce H₂ and other green, renewable fuels. Authors include Kazunari Domen @ShinshuUni @UTokyo_News_en, Takashi Hisatomi of @JST_info, @ArdoShane of @UCIrvine & @CMPelicano of @MpiciPotsdam ⬇️

Sharing our recently published viewpoint article (doi.org/10.3389/fsci.2…), offering a critical analysis of Prof. Domen's @FrontScience Lead Article (doi.org/10.3389/fsci.2…) on photocatalytic H2O splitting for large-scale solar energy conversion and storage. @MpiciPotsdam

Proud of my postdoc, Jaya Bharti, for receiving the Best Poster Award at the Joint Chemical Science RSC-CSJ Symposium! Congratulations, Jaya, and thank you for your hard work and dedication!

@jeffreypauperez Thanks!

@CMPelicano Congratulations, Christian! 🥳

Excited to share our new Advanced Materials paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad… We present a strategy to enhance the photocatalytic H2O2 activity of ionic carbon nitrides by inducing lattice distortion. Congrats Haijian and Joko! 👏 @MpiciPotsdam

Our director, Prof. Markus Antonietti, received the @Arkema_group / @AcadSciences for his groundbreaking research in #carbon catalysis. He develops carbon-based materials to make chemical reactions faster, cost-effective, &more precisely tunable. tinyurl.com/2s3jjdnt

Post-Doctoral Position in our research group #FOTOHET (1-2 years), @navalon_sergio, #depqim, @UPV, @ITQ_UPVCSIC, (Valencia , Spain) about Photo(electro)catalysis for Solar Fuels generation from CO2

Pleased to share our latest article on photothermal-responsive soft hydrogel actuator based on laponite/MXene/PNIPAm nanocomposite, in collaboration with Prof. Zhihong Tian. Read the article on @ACS_AMI : pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… @MpiciPotsdam

It was a pleasure to meet with a delegation from Singapore’s @ASTARsg to discuss promising opportunities for exchange & collaboration. Many thanks to Dr. Peter Nagler & Prof. Andy Hor for their visit & to @PotsdamScience for illustrating why our campus is ideal for research.

Glad to share that my minireview on cocatalyst engineering for photocatalytic overall H2O splitting has been featured as the front cover in the June issue of @Appl_Research journal. Read the minireview here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @MpiciPotsdam
