Excited to announce our paper on Low-Temperature Oxidation of CO by Co-N-C was published in @ACSCatalysis! It was great to collaborate with @PaolucciGroup who provided a lot of support for the computational work! It was a very fun and interesting project! https://t.co/MouLv2bNns

Isolated cobalt ions on nitrogen-doped carbon (Co–N–C) catalyze CO oxidation at temperatures as low as 196 K, but the active site and mechanism for this reaction remain elusive. In this work,...

Thank you to the Paolucci group for their help with this project, especially Anna for running the MD simulations that really set up the computational work for the project!
New paper on Low-Temperature Oxidation of CO by Colby Whitcomb @CoColbyNitride, from the Davis lab at UVA, group member Anna Sviripa and Paolucci group alum Michael Schapowal in @ACSCatalysis! https://t.co/flbtVqMUEq

Check out this awesome review by @jasonsbates and co-workers on the state of the N-doped carbon field and how tools and methods previously used for ORR could be further applied to the aerobic oxidation field! It was a great read!
Electrocatalysts for O2 reduction can guide development of thermal aerobic oxidation catalysts, as explained by @jasonsbates and team @doescience

We report a strategy to integrate atomically dispersed iron within a heterogeneous nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) support, inspired by routes for metalation of molecular macrocyclic iron complexes. The...

BREAKING: White House issues new policy that will require, by 2026, all federally-funded research results to be freely available to public without delay, ending longstanding ability of journals to paywall results for up to 1 year. Coverage coming on @ScienceInsider.

@CoColbyNitride @dtearl @Center4Politics I now support keeping NH as the first primary. See how easy that was? Thanks.

So this tweet is obviously the kind of bait that can only be produced by a person who desperately desires any sort of attention, even if at the expense of their own reputation…but this story is actually really interesting and mostly ignored because of how it’s…good.

Ever wonder if there are heat transfer limitations when you do a batch zeolite crystallization in an autoclave? Spoiler alert: there are. Check out our recent paper: https://t.co/GvLAWFHAj6
