The family is moving to San Diego this week! We loved our time in Colorado; now, family and new jobs are taking us further west. I am excited to announce that the Griffith Lab will be opening at UC San Diego on March 1st!

One specific thrust of our lab will be leveraging solid-state NMR spectroscopy with our 900 MHz, 700 MHz, and 400 MHz instruments to understand dynamics, defects, disorder, and distortions at the atomic-scale.

The overarching goal is translating mechanistic insights into advances for electrochemical energy storage and other functional semiconductors with, e.g., optical or thermoelectric activity.

Interesting thread on semiconductor lithography instrument manufacturing – at Songpa-gu, Republic of Korea
ASML is the most important company you've never heard of. The $220B Dutch firm makes the machines that make semiconductors. Each one costs $150m and access to them are a huge geopolitical flashpoint. Here's a breakdown 🧵

Check out this @IntercalationSt post on modelling pouch cell batteries. We plugged in the LFP material and geometries into the calculator for the BYD Blade Battery and here's what we found... 👀
Back of the Battery Calculator 5 is here! 🔋🧮🚂 ⤵️ BOTB5: intercalationstation.substac… Read about how we stack our electrodes up to model lithium pouch cell energy densities. Don't miss our analysis of the BYD Blade battery too 🗡️🔋

What is this noise in my cyclic voltammogram? Is it electrical? Mechanical? Spiritual? I change the earthing Still noisy I test with a dummy cell Aha! Still noisy I give up Next morning The noise is gone I drove out the noisy spirits I have a PhD in electrochemistry

Now out in @PhysRevMater as an Editors’ Suggestion: @agsquires leading a collaborative effort with @lonepair and @scanlond81 on modelling electronic conductivity in nominally insulating materials, and applying this to the solid electrolyte Li7La3Zr2O12. doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevMater…

Fun to spend the week at science summer camp with Poeppelmeier alum and the rest of the awesome solid-state chemistry community! – at Boston, MA
Strong showing from the Poeppelminions at the Solid State #GRC. Always good to catch up with Miguel, Ken, @JMRondinelli,@KentJGriffith @psanhala, Chris, Jack @alexnorquist, and Paul!

100th Birthday Symposium for John Goodenough @UTAustin. Absolutely incredible to hear the history of lithium-ion battery development from the pioneers of the field & in the broader context of solid-state chemistry. JBG is an inspiring scientist & role model for us all! #battchat – at UT, Austin

Takeshi Egami, who wrote the book on PDF, spoke on JBG's unique ability to bridge physics and chemistry and communicate b/w the communities. He says JBG had the courage and conviction to go against dogmas in the field, has always been a true leader. #JBG100th – at Austin, TX

Karim Zaghib closes the symposium with a history of LFP starting from the JBG paper/patent. Goodenough's lab sent FePO4 & LiFePO4 to Hydro-Quebec in June 1996 for application in non-EV & EV batteries, respectively. Armand saw prospect for olivine to replace V2O5 for HQ. #JBG100th – at Austin, TX
