Congratulations Professor Lou

On behalf of the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C Editorial Offices I would like to congratulate Dr David Lou, Nanyang Technological University, on his recent promotion to full professor, making him the youngest full professor at NTU Singapore.

Dr David Lou received his B.Eng (2002) and M.Eng. (2004) degrees from the National University of Singapore. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in chemical engineering from Cornell University in 2008. Right after graduation, he joined Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as an Assistant Professor, and he was promoted to Associate Professor in September 2013. He has published about 210 papers with a total citation of >21,000, and an H-index of 83. His main research interest is on designed synthesis of nanostructured materials for energy and environmental applications.

Dr Lou is currently an Associate Editor for Journal of Materials Chemistry A and last year co-Guest Edited a themed issue for Journal of Materials Chemistry A on flexible energy storage and conversion.

Congratulations Professor Lou on this highly impressive achievement!

Learn Chemistry Journal of the Month: Journal of Materials Chemistry B

We are pleased to announce that Journal of Materials Chemistry B is currently featuring as Learn Chemistry’s journal of the month. This journal of the month series showcases the high impact and globally renowned publishing work done by the Royal Society of Chemistry, whilst giving both learners and teachers an insight into our journals and the content they cover.

Learn Chemistry is our home for chemistry education. Educators and students at all levels from primary school to university can access thousands of high-quality free resources, and can search by age, topic or resource type. The journal of the month series is just one of the resources on offer, and during September 2015 Learn Chemistry users will be granted free access to article such as ‘Amelogenin and enamel biomimetics’ and ‘Water-soluble and phosphorus-containing carbon dots with strong green fluorescence for cell labeling’.  

Please do pass this valuable information on to any enthusiastic young Chemistry learners, and find out more about the journal of the month series and Learn Chemistry as a whole.

Presentation & Poster Prize Winners at Annual Meeting on Photochemistry of Coordination Compounds

Many congratulations to the poster and presentation prize winners at the Annual Meeting onPhotochemistry of Coordination Compounds, held by the Photofunctional Complexes Research Association in Niigata, Japan from the 7th-9th August 2015.

For her presentation on “An Interfacial Europium Complex on SiO2 Nanoparticles for Valence-Controlled Emission System”, Ayumi Ishii (Aoyama Gakuin University) was awarded the Journal of Materials Chemistry A Presentation prize. Ryohsuke Ohno (Hokkaido University) was presented with the Journal of Materials Chemistry A Poster prize for his entry entitled “A luminescent Eu(III) complex: Novel design and synthesis strategies for the extended pi-conjugated system of ligands and their optical properties”.

Presentation prize winner Ayumi Ishii (Aoyama Gakuin University)

Poster prize winner Ryohsuke Ohno (Hokkaido University)

 

This annual meeting consists of presentations on a wide variety of topics such as artificial photosynthesis, carbon dioxide conversion, photocatalysis, sensors, photovoltaics and water splitting. Two special lectures were given this year by Professors Osamu Ishitani (Tokyo Institute of Technology) and Tadaaki Ikoma (Niigata University).
