JCESR has had a very successful first five years. The personal relationships we’ve formed now enable us to move forward with even more momentum. Recently, the team of more than 150 came together for its first full program meeting since renewal. As stated by the team, there is no replacement for direct human interaction. It is easy to get excited when you see the entire JCESR community working toward a common goal. The momentum created when we all come together will have a positive impact on the team for several months as we continue to work more closely together.

Probing migration of magnesium cations in spinel oxides
Measurements of 25Mg variable temperature solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (VT ss-NMR), and muon spin relaxation (μSR) in 3 spinel oxides reveal experimental magnesium hoping barriers as low as ∼0.6 eV, in agreement with independent density functional theory (DFT) predictions. Read More

Designing Membranes for Aqueous Alkaline Flow Batteries from Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity
The incorporation of amidoxime units along the rigid backbone of a polymer of intrinsic microporosity to make them aqueous-compatible (AquaPIMs) allows for exceptional conductivity and stability in harsh alkaline environments while blocking a variety of active materials. Read More

Coupled Cation-Anion Dynamics Enhances Cation Mobility in Room Temperature Superionic Solid-State Electrolytes
Our work reveals facile [PX4]3- anion rotation in superionic Na11Sn2PS12 and Na11Sn2PSe12, and greatly hindered [SbS4]3- rotational dynamics in their less conductive analogue, Na11Sn2SbS12. Along with introducing dynamic frustration in the energy landscape, the fluctuation caused by [PX4]3- anion rotation is firmly proved to couple … Read More
