The @Stache_Lab has discovered that a black pigment present in many plastics drives depolymerization. Their latest two papers, in @ACSPublications and @J_A_C_S, showcase the potential. Congrats Hanning, Sewon, Liat, Erik, Erin! Enjoy our feature: bit.ly/3PVs4nM

My lab's next paper is out @angew_chem! Disorder activates graphitic carbon for echem rxns—but can we distinguish it in situ? Varying disorder shows different electric-field IR responses! w/ Ry, Ben & calculations from Arpan @GalliGroup 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
