Boettcher in Chemistry of Materials

Water oxidation catalysis is central to many energy storage technologies. The “Up-and-Coming” Perspective by Boettcher and coworkers discusses new advances in understanding oxygen electrocatalysis on nickel−iron oxyhydroxides, highlighting the essential role of the iron sites, the electrical conductivity under active conditions, and the chemical stability. The cover depicts a layer of nickel−iron oxyhydroxide, the fastest-known water oxidation catalyst in alkaline conditions. The artwork was created by Shanna Zentner. For more information, see “Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysis on Transition Metal Oxides and (Oxy)hydroxides: Activity Trends and Design Principles” by Michaela S. Burke, Lisa J. Enman, Adam S. Batchellor, Shihui Zou, and Shannon W. Boettcher* (Chem. Mater. 2015, 27, 7549–7558).

SupraSensor Technologies, a startup company spun out of MSI research in the the labs of Darren Johnson and Mike Haley, in May won a UO 2015 Impact and Innovation Award recognizing outstanding entrepreneurial activity that has resulted in innovations with measurable societal or environmental impact. SupraSensor created a wireless nitrate-sensing soil sampler that is helping reduce the estimated $2.4 billion per year that farmers waste due to the overapplication of nitrate-based fertilizers.
