This study involved the in-situ modification of bacterial cellulose (BC) with hairy nanocellulose (HNC), resulting in nanocomposites with enhanced physicochemical properties compared to BC alone.</p> Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:28:23 +0000 admin 10346 at /oss /oss/channels/news/eric-mccalla-na-ion-battery-research-news-361458 <p>The <a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/eric-mccalla-368587188?trk=public_post-text">Eric McCalla</a> lab's work improving Na-ion battery cathodes has been highlighted in a nice article and video by <a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/in/patrick-de-bellefeuille-67b7aa40?trk=public_post-text">Patrick de Bellefeuille</a> from <a href="https://ca.linkedin.com/company/m-t-om-dia?trk=public_post-text">MétéoMédia</a>.</p> Tue, 26 Nov 2024 15:56:33 +0000 admin 10343 at /oss /oss/channels/news/mc2-cordoba-u-361567 <p>Representing ���˴�Ƭ University’s Chemistry Department, the MC² facility, and the QCAM-FRQNT strategic cluster, Petr Fiurasek was honored to be invited to the University of Córdoba to deliver two lectures.

Here, we present a fast, effective, and sustainable route for coupling diverse alcohols, amines and amides with CO<sub>2</sub> via heterogenization of a natural metal-based homogeneous catalyst through decorating on functionalized graphene oxide. Combined synthetic, experimental, and theoretical studies unravel mechanistic routes to convergent 4‑electron reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> under mild conditions.</p> Tue, 24 Sep 2024 18:48:36 +0000 admin 10345 at /oss /oss/channels/news/matt-harrington-receives-2024-award-excellence-materials-research-chemical-institute-canada-361452 <p>The Award for Research Excellence in Materials Chemistry is presented to a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant who has made an outstanding contribution to materials chemistry while working in Canada.
