Mudd Newsletter Fall-2021

Faculty News During the past year, Muhammad Bilal Zarafullah joined Professor Landskron's research group as a graduate student. He is working in the lab on improving porous carbon materials for supercapacitive swing adsorption for carbon capture. Graduate student Jiajie Li continued her research studying the influence of carbon dioxide partial pressure on supercapacitive swing adsorption for carbon capture. Graduate student Jacob Dooley Kai Landskron continued to construct his lab for ammonothermal cubic boron nitride crystal growth (collaboration with Siddha Pimputkar). Research Fellow Dr. David Roberts worked on crystalline, covalent ferrocenic, frameworks (collaboration with Lisa Fredin and Liz Young). Research Fellow Dr. Guido Pez constructed a fuel cell system for the electrocatalytic dehydrogenation of perhydrodibenzyltoluene. Professor Landskron wrote a textbook "Inorganic Coordination Chemistry" published on the Libretext platform. It is available for free to Lehigh students, and students worldwide. He co-founded Energy 18H, a benefit LLC that aims at the development and commercialization of direct fuel cells that dehydrogenate perhydrodibenzyltoluene for safe, CO2 emission-free power generation.
