Description:CGSO HOSTED EVENT\n\nAbout the seminar:\n\nDespite their high t
 heoretical specific energy of 2\,600 Wh kg-1\, the commercialization of Li
 -S devices is hindered by irreversible capacity loss from the dissolution 
 of polysulfide intermediates in the electrolyte solution. We report novel 
 strategies to design reactive sites for polysulfide adsorption in metal-or
 ganic frameworks (MOFs) to improve capacity retention and ionic conductivi
 ty. Incorporation of redox-active moieties in the framework further enable
  fast charge and discharge capabilities. Identifying structure-property-fu
 nction relationships in tunable molecular platforms offer new methods to a
 dvance electrochemical storage technologies. In addition\, we will present
  new strategies to probe the electrode-electrolyte interfaces in electroca
 talysis using advanced electrochemical techniques such as in-situ vibratio
 nal spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The ubiquity 
 of surfactants and carbon supports in catalysis warrants a closer examinat
 ion on their influence on the electrode-electrolyte interface during carbo
 n dioxide reduction. New insights on the impact of molecular additives and
  carbonaceous materials on product formation and Faradaic efficiency in el
 ectrocatalytic carbon conversion will be discussed.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nZoom Lin
