Youngdong Song

I’m honored to receive Dissertation of the Year Award 2021 from S-Oil and the Korean Academy of Science and Technology. This couldn’t be possible without invaluable supports from my PhD advisor @caferyavuz, and I’m hoping to continue amazing works during my postdoc research!

Prebiotic Interconversion of Pyruvate and Lactate over Zeolite-Supported Ni Catalyst (Harun Tüysüz and co-workers) #openaccess 🔓 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

I am pleased to share our article titled “Prebiotic Interconversion of Pyruvate and Lactate over a Zeolite-Supported Ni Catalyst,” published in @angew_chem, @ImdeaMaterials, @YoungdongSong, @Ashwani_Kumar_2 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

I'm pleased to share our Account article (with @YoungdongSong ) where we present our progress and insights into the role of solid catalysts in the conversion of CO2 to prebiotic compounds in the context of the origin of life. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

To reconstruct the origin of metabolism, conditions where multiple metabolic subnetworks can work together must be identified. Here, hydrogen gas drives nonenzymatic analogs of amino acid biosynthesis and the reverse Krebs cycle together in one pot without human intervention.

I am pleased to share my account article "Alkaline Water Electrolysis for Green Hydrogen Production" published in Accounts of Chemical Research. #hydrogen , #electrolysis, #GreenHydrogen pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Effect of Alkali- and Alkaline-Earth-Metal Promoters on Silica-Supported Co-Fe Alloy for Autocatalytic #CarbonDioxide Fixation (Harun Tueysuez and co-workers) @TuysuzLab @YoungdongSong #openaccess thanks to #projektDEAL onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@saravanans153 @green_rsc @CSIRCSMCRI1 @IndiaDST Congratulations!

Interested in catalytic #CO2 fixation? Please have a look at our just published @green_rsc article on the organocatalytic synthesis of #spirocyclic carbonates! Thanks @CSIRCSMCRI1 @IndiaDST. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I am pleased to share our latest paper on #prebiotic chemistry with @YoungdongSong, which was published in @angew_chem. We demonstrated the role of promoters in silica-supported CoFe alloys for autocatalytic fixation of CO2 to metabolic intermediates. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

My group has job openings for two post-doctoral scholars; 1) Heterogeneous Catalysts for CO2 Hydrogenation 2) Photocatalysis and Halide Perovskites You can still send your applications, please check the link for the details and requirements, @Chemjobber kofo.mpg.de/en/research/he…

My PhD advisor @caferyavuz made a visit to @TuysuzLab and gave a talk on “Syngas Economy with Green Hydrogen for Rapid Decarbonization of Fuels and Chemicals”. It was nice to catch up, and fortunately I had a chance to take a picture with my PhD advisor and postdoc advisor:)

We’re hiring!! If you’re an awesome chemist working on (1) Heterogeneous catalysis, (2) Porous Organic Polymers, or (3) Crystalline frameworks (e.g. COFs, MOFs, PCPs) with a recent PhD, PLEASE APPLY: kaustforms.formstack.com/forms/yavuzlab… PLEASE RT! @KaustResearch

Are you a physical organic chemist or electrochemist interested in uncovering the origins of life? Three days left to apply for this ERC-funded postdoc position in Strasbourg!

I am glad to share our latest article about #prebiotic chemistry that is published in @angew_chem. Ni-Fe nanoparticles transform CO2 and H2O into formate, acetate, and pyruvate under mild hydrothermal conditions. We thank @VolkswagenSt for the funding. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

@saravanans153 @ChemicalScience Congratulations Saravanan! Great work!

What makes a certain chemical scaffold perform better as a catalyst than another, is one of our interests to learn! In the process of learning, we observed the exciting catalytic property of phenolic derivative #ETPs. Out now in @ChemicalScience. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Is sunlight enough to produce H2O2?🤔Our answer is Yes!😎Thrilled to share our study published in @EES_journal. We show solar-driven H2O2 production by collaboration between "auto"catalysis and "photo"catalysis! Please check this out (open access): pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

I am glad to share that our latest article about CO2 fixation to key metabolic intermediates in the context of the origin of life is accepted for publication in @J_A_C_S. We thank MPG (@maxplanckpress ) and VW Foundation @VolkswagenSt for the funding. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

We celebrated @ben_list‘s Nobel Prize with great talks and an amazing party. I’m so happy to be in such a great institute!#MPIKOFO

@Harpreet23Kaur @NASA @PCE3_Sci @EmilieWerner7 @Jing_YI_UdS @MoranLabUdS @TuysuzLab Congrats!!

Such an honour to have had the opportunity to present my research at the @NASA seminar series @PCE3_Sci! Watch it here: youtu.be/0GRg0OE7k-8 Thanks to all who worked on this project: @EmilieWerner7 @Jing_YI_UdS @YoungdongSong @MoranLabUdS @TuysuzLab William Martin #PhdChat

We had a privilege to get a visit from the Prime Minister and the Minister of Scientific Affairs of the NRW. It was a great pleasure to talk with minister Pfeiffer-Poensgen about our research activities related catalysis and sustainable energy. @MKW_NRW kofo.mpg.de/923489/2022-03…

We have another postdoc position available (only for Korean citizens) with the support of NST. Please check this out: bit.ly/32vxaC6 '광대역 태양광 광촉매 기반 과산화수소 대량 생산' 과제를 위한 postdoc 지원자를 모집합니다! 많은 관심 부탁드립니다.🙏
