SUMMARY:Charging Ahead: Batteries of the Future (SLAC Public Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Yi Cui\, SLAC\, Stanford University\nSponsored by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory\n7:00-8:00pm\, Hybrid event\, Free\, Registration required to attend in person (Panofsky Auditorium\, SLAC) or watch live on SLAC’s YouTube page. Registration deadline: October 5th. See SLAC Visitor Map\n\nTo transform our energy sources to carbon neutrality\, we need to power as much of modern society as possible with clean electricity. In doing so\, electricity generated from solar and wind sources requires energy storage. To meet today’s tough demands\, however\, energy storage designs must do many things – store more energy\, charge faster\, be capable of mass production\, decrease costs for the consumer\, be safe\, and be made of materials that minimize harm to the environment. We can now address these issues not only through the overall battery chemistry but also by observing the structure and operation of batteries at the nano- and even the atomic scale. In this talk\, I will present some new ideas about the design of batteries – from electric vehicles to consumer power on the grid – and share my perspective on the path to the batteries of the future. \nJoin us at the Panofsky Auditorium or online. Registration is required if you plan to attend the lecture in person. \nWe will also be streaming the lecture live on SLAC’s YouTube. You do not need to register if you plan to watch online. \nClick here for more information about the SLAC Public Lectures. \nAbout the Speaker: \nYi Cui is the Director of the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University. He is the Fortinet Founders Professor in the Departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Energy Science and Engineering\, and a Professor at Photon Science at SLAC. He obtained his B.S. in chemistry from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1998 and his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Harvard University in 2002. He joined the Stanford faculty in 2005. By now\, he has published 540 research papers in chemistry\, materials science\, and energy science\, earning him a #1 ranking in Thomson Reuter’s “World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds” in 2014\, the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Award in 2020\, and election to the National Academy of Sciences in 2022.

SUMMARY:Tightly-Bound Polymers
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Frank Blum\, Department of Chemistry\, Oklahoma State University\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum\n6:30-7:30pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free/$5 donation\, Registration required (Registration deadline: September 21st at 1pm)\n\nAbstract:\nTightly-bound polymer can be described as those polymer segments near a solid surface with which they have a strong attraction. Compared to bulk segments\, they have reduced mobility\, smaller heat capacity\, and broadened-elevated glass transitions. The distance scale for such a polymer interphase in several systems was determined to be around 1 nm. Nevertheless\, they can have a significant effect on the properties of composites. Their small scale makes them difficult to characterize with most techniques normally used in polymer composites. To highlight the effects of these tiny interphases\, we have used large specific surface area substrates (nanoparticles such as silica\, alumina and graphene oxide) with small adsorbed amounts of polymer. Typically\, we have used polymers which hydrogen bond to the substrates. To probe both the dynamics and structure of the interphase we have used FTIR\, deuterium NMR\, calorimetry\, and molecular simulations. We find that this combination of techniques can give us some significant insight into these important interphases. For example\, they may have glass transitions which can be 40 to 100 °C wide! \nSpeaker Background & Research Interests:\n\nFrank D. Blum\, Harrison I. Bartlett Chair and Regents’ Professor of Chemistry at Oklahoma State University has research interests in materials science and surface chemistry. His work has focused on the molecular motion and physical properties of polymers and surface-active agents at interfaces. He has also headed an interdisciplinary group to make polymer composites from used carpets and beverage bottles. Frank is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society and a Fellow of the Division of Polymer Chemistry (POLY)\, Inc. His ACS National service includes: Chair of the Committee on Nominations and Elections and the Divisional Activities Committees. Frank has also served as Councilor from the South Central Missouri Section and Polymer Division of the ACS for 30 years. For POLY\, he served as Assistant Editor of Polymer Preprints\, Secretary\, and in the Chair succession (Chair in 1999). The Division awarded him both a Distinguished Service Award and Special Service Award. He received his BS and MS degrees from Eastern Illinois University in 1976 and 1977\, respectively. He received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1981.

Applications ranging from alternative energy to the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and every day products should rely on terrestrially abundant elements such as iron rather than rare ones that have a large environmental footprint associated with mining and purification. \nJoin Paul Chirik\, Edward S. Sanford Professor at Princeton University and Editor-in-Chief of Organometallics as he explores the new chemistry enabled by catalysis with Earth abundant transition metals. Dr. Chirik and his research group strive to discover highly effective catalysts with applications in the pharmaceutical\, flavor and fragrance\, silicones\, energy and polymer science industries and often engage with industrial collaborators. They seek to uncover the unique pathways that enable these transformations\, many of which are distinct from precious metals and rely on the unique electronic structures of the first row transition metals. Register now to discover the distinct chemistry enabled by iron and cobalt catalysts and the design principles that were used in catalyst discovery. Learn about real-life applications and broad challenges that confront the field such as air-stable\, easily handled precursors\, functional group tolerance\, ligand design and understanding reaction mechanism. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Director of Sustainable Development\, Adelina Voutchkova-Kostal of ACS and is co-produced with the ACS Office of Sustainable Development and Organometallics. \nDiscover more about the webinar topic including submission details for the planned joint Virtual Special Issue in Organometallics and OPR&D “Advances and Applications in Catalysis with Earth-Abundant Metals.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow to understand your elemental footprint and what is the importance of elemental usage in society\nWhat is the indefensible role of hydrocarbons in our daily lives and what are some approaches to increase the sustainability of our elemental usage and hydrocarbon future\nWhat are the potential frontiers in development of sustainable base-metal catalytic transformations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, September 15\, 2022 @ 2-3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available to download on the day of the webinar

Despite the overwhelming statistics\, Dr. Jeffries-El pursued and completed a doctorate in chemistry\, obtained an academic job\, and then tenure in promotion in due course. She was born in Brooklyn\, NY where she lived in public housing and attended public school. Although her situation was less than ideal\, she always had a passion for science that her parents encouraged her to pursue. In this talk\, Dr. Jeffries-EL will discuss what excites her about science\, diversity\, equity and inclusion issues and potential solutions woven all within the context of her personal experiences. \nBio: \nMalika Jeffries-El is the Associate Dean of the Graduate School in Arts and Sciences and Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Division of Materials Science at Boston University. Dr. Jeffries-EL’s research focuses on the development of organic semiconductors –materials that combine the processing properties of polymers with the electronic properties of semiconductors. She is a fellow of the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry and has won numerous awards including the Percy Julian Award from the National Organization of Black Chemist and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE)\, the ACS-Women Chemist Committee Rising Star award\, the Iota Sigma Pi Agnes Fay Morgan Award\, and the Stanley J. Israel award for diversity. She has authored over 40 publications\, received over 4000 citations\, and given over 175 invited lectures domestically and abroad. \nProfessor Jeffries-El\, is also a staunch advocate for diversity and a dedicated volunteer that has served in several activities within the American Chemical Society. She is a science communicator who seeks to encourage students from underrepresented groups to pursue STEM degrees and recently appeared on the NOVA series Beyond the Elements. She also serves the community through her work with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Incorporated (AKA).

SUMMARY:How We Study Molecules in Space: Finding and Analyzing Cosmic Carbon
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Brett A. McGuire\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Prof. Kyle Crabtree\, UC Davis\nSponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Astrochemistry Subdivision\nAugust 31\, 11am-12:15pm PT\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\nSlides will be available to download on the day of the webinar\n\nPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large reservoir of reactive carbon in the interstellar medium that play a significant role in star and planet formation. These molecules have been observed both in our galaxy and numerous others by NASA telescopes and can even be found on Earth in engine exhaust and the char on a grilled hamburger. But what is the relationship between interstellar PAHs and those found on our planet\, and what can that tell us about the makeup of the universe? \nAstrochemist Brett McGuire of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology led the GOTHAM research collaboration that in 2021 became the first scientists to identify individual molecules of PAHs via radio observations of the Taurus molecular cloud. This breakthrough will enable astrochemists to investigate the detailed chemical pathways for the formation and destruction of these complex molecules\, which until now have only been observed en masse. Register now to discover how we study molecules in space\, why PAHs are important to both interstellar chemistry and understanding the origins of life on Earth\, and what are the current efforts to understand the chemistry of PAHs in the wake of the GOTHAM collaboration’s discovery. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Kyle Crabtree of the University of California\, Davis and is co-produced by the ACS Astrochemistry Subdivision. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow we study molecules in space\, including detections of PAH molecules via their rotational transitions using Green Bank Telescope observations of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC-1) from the GOTHAM collaboration\nWhy Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are important to interstellar chemistry\nMethods for studying the chemistry of PAHs from Earth\, including astrochemical models and laboratory spectroscopy

SUMMARY:An Evolutionary Mystery: Mirror Asymmetry in Life and in Space (Rebroadcast)
DESCRIPTION:Brett McGuire\, National Radio Astronomy Observatory; and Ryan Fortenberry\, University of Mississippi\nSponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Astrochemistry Subdivision\nAugust 18\, 11am-Noon PT\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nMost molecules used by life exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other. One of the great unanswered questions in our evolutionary history is why all life on Earth\, and their critical biological molecules like amino acids and proteins\, use only one “hand” of these forms. Sugars are exclusively right-handed\, amino acids are left-handed\, and even DNA coils into right-handed helices. What clues can we glean from molecules in space to discover the possible interstellar origins of this “homochirality?” \nJoin Astrochemist Brett McGuire of currently the McGuire Group at MIT to find out how chemists are using state-of-the-art tools to peer into the center of our galaxy for the answers! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nWhat is the impact of homochirality on biology and chemical evolution\nWhat are the potential origins of homochirality and what are the challenges in studying possible interstellar origins\nWhat was the first detection of a chiral interstellar molecule and what are the challenges associated with measuring a potential chiral excess in space\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, August 18\, 2022 @ 2–3pm ET\nFree to Register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available to download on the day of the webinar

SUMMARY:Extreme Mechanics of Soft Functional Materials
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lihua Jin\, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering\, University of California\, Los Angeles\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum\nAugust 16\, 6-7pm\, Online via Zoom\, Free/$5 Donation\, Registration required (Deadline Aug. 15@1pm)\n\nSoft robotics and stretchable electronics are transforming the fields of robotics and biomedical devices\, in that they are capable of sustaining large deformation and interacting safely with fragile objects and human beings. Soft functional materials\, as the building blocks of soft robotics and stretchable electronics\, are typically subjected to extreme mechanical conditions\, such as large deformation\, cyclic loading\, and fracture. In this seminar\, I will present our recent progress in modeling and charactering extreme mechanics of soft functional materials. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are special polymers combining cross-linked elastomers with rod-like liquid crystal mesogens\, aligning in a certain direction\, called the director. Combining theory and experiments\, we show that the directors of a LCE can reorient with stress in a highly rate-dependent manner. We further investigate the coupling between stress and director fields at a crack tip\, and observe significant and highly inhomogeneous director rotation\, resulting in crack-tip stress and strain distributions of LCEs distinct from those of regular elastomers. Stretchable carbon nanotube electrodes are used in various stretchable electronic devices. When deformed\, they show characteristic resistance–strain hysteresis. We use coarse-grained molecular simulations together with experiments to unravel the microstructural origin of the resistance–strain hysteresis. Finally\, we study fracture of thin conducting/semiconducting films. We have developed a new testing methodology to measure the fracture energy of free-standing ultrathin films. We further demonstrate that the fracture strain of a thin film is not an intrinsic material property\, but can be significantly augmented by tuning interfacial properties. \nSpeaker Background & Research Interests: \n\nLihua Jin is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA). Before joining UCLA in 2016\, she was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University. In 2014\, she obtained her PhD degree in Engineering Sciences from Harvard University. Prior to that\, she earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Fudan University in 2006 and 2009. Jin’s group conducts research on mechanics of soft materials\, stimuli-responsive materials\, instability and fracture\, soft robotics\, and biomechanics. Lihua was the winner of Haythornthwaite Research Initiative Grant from American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2016\, Extreme Mechanics Letters Young Investigator Award in 2018\, Hellman Fellowship in 2019\, UCLA Faculty Career Development Award in 2020\, and NSF CAREER Award in 2021.

SUMMARY:Frontier Fridays: Putting Sustainable Chemistry to Work in Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mark Mascal\, University of California at Davis; Prof. Ryan Lively\, Georgia Institute of Technology\nSponsored by ACS Webinars\, ACS Committee on Science\, and ACS Office of Sustainable Development\nAugusts 11\, 10-11:30am\, Online via Zoom\, Free\, Registration required\n\nBuilding a more sustainable future requires research innovations\, but equally important is translating that research into technical solutions for industrial manufacturers where it can have a practical impact. “Frontier Fridays” returns to explore the science that will revolutionize the future of the human race. \nMark Mascal at the University of California Davis (a 2022 EPA Green Chemistry Challenge Award winner) will describe his work with Origin Materials\, Inc. in developing and implementing a novel technology to replace chemicals commonly made from petroleum with products derived from forestry\, agricultural and municipal wastes. This technology could change the environmental impact of the plastics industry\, among others\, by supplying chemical feedstocks that are both net zero-carbon and recyclable. \nModern chemical manufacturing depends upon purification via chemical separations and most industrial separations are achieved with energy-intensive\, thermally driven processes (e.g.\, distillation) that account for 10-15% of global energy usage. Dr. Ryan P. Lively at Georgia Tech will describe how his research team and collaborators developed the first polymeric membranes for crude oil fractionation\, an extremely complex hydrocarbon separation process that is vital to the production of modern fuels and chemicals. This new approach could drastically reduce the energy needed for industrial separations. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Adelina Voutchkova\, Director for Sustainable Development at ACS\, and is co-produced with the ACS Committee on Science and the ACS Office of Sustainable Development as part of the 2022 Frontier Fridays series. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow biomass waste is being used to make plastics that are net zero-carbon and recyclable\nHow innovative new materials can dramatically reduce energy use for industrial separations processes\nHow innovative scientists are working with industry to put these new discoveries to work for society
