I’m excited to share our recent work! @GraceGDHan Group at @BrandeisU demonstrates rechargeable solid-state fuels ⚡️ with cascade heat release using donor-acceptor anthracenes—featured on @Chem_CP Nov 2024 cover! cell.com/chem/fulltext/…
Grateful to @physorg_com for covering our recent research from @GraceGDHan Lab It means a lot to see our work recognized and shared with the broader scientific community.
#Curved anthracene molecules efficiently absorb #VisibleLight, store #SolarEnergy as chemical bonds, and release heat on demand, offering a solvent-free advance in molecular solar thermal storage. doi.org/g9t4m2 phys.org/news/2025-07-m…
Thanks to @cenmag for covering our work! Grateful to @KMothPoulsen and @Diego__Sampedro for sharing their thoughts on the story. And heartfelt thanks to @GraceGDHan for the opportunity to be part of this exciting project.
Researchers have made a curved form of anthracene, an organic compound, that captures and stores sunlight in its chemical bonds, releasing the energy as heat when triggered hours later. cen.acs.org/energy/solar-p…
Our latest #MOST system using curved anthracene’s Dewar isomerization is now on @cenmag news ☀️🔋Thank you @KMothPoulsen and @Diego__Sampedro for nice quotes 😊 Proud of the team! cen.acs.org/energy/solar-p… @cenmag
Our pipeline to compute thermal barriers of photoswitches💡 is out!🥳 We especially focused on NBDs for MOST🔋 and imines, but also stilbenes and DAEs. Try it out! You need just chemdraws and freeware to get libraries computed doi.org/10.1002/cptc.2…

Had an amazing week at the Gordon Research Conference on Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors (June 22–27, NH, USA)! Presented my poster and had great discussions with top minds in the field. Grateful for the science, the connections, and the energy driving this field forward
After 7 incredible years at Brandeis, I'm excited to start a new chapter at UCSB today😊 I'm forever grateful to my wonderful colleagues at Brandeis for their support. Looking forward to building an interdisciplinary program in materials & energy @ucsbchemistry🌴☀️🔋
I'm thrilled to announce our November cover of Chem is live! The cover features our latest work on self-activated solid fuel, highlighting the conversion of white dianthracene pellets into yellow anthracene—a parallel to the 2024 Solar Eclipse! 🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕cell.com/chem/fulltext/…
Excited to share our newest discovery of #diazetidines as #MOST☀️energy storage systems with over 0.3 MJ/kg density🔋 now on @ChemicalScience Proud of the work of @HanPQNguyen @brandeischem🌟 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
Excellent review on the current state of cycloaddition MOST. Anthracene and diazetidine are the new ⭐️☀️
Happy to share our recent Perspective article published in @ChemicalScience titled "Emerging Solid-State Cycloaddition Chemistry for Molecular Solar Thermal Energy Storage". Big thanks to @GraceGDHan and @HanPQNguyen. doi.org/10.1039/D4SC05…
It has been challenging to do two way switching of Norbornadienes in solution and Solid state, here, @LiangFei96 @HelenHoelzel and team show that it is possible!! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… @ChemicalScience
