Themed issue: Materials for molecular electronics and magnetism

26 Aug 2021

We are pleased to announce a Journal of Materials Chemistry C themed issue ‘Materials for molecular electronics and magnetism’, honouring of Professor Jaume Veciana and Professor Concepció Rovira.

Guest edited by Fabio Biscarini (University of Modena and Reggio Emilia), Eugenio Coronado (University of Valencia), Anna Painelli (University of Parma) and Masahiro Yamashita (Tohoku University), this issue aims to illustrate the current relevance of functional molecular materials in electronics and magnetism. This covers from the chemical design and manipulation of novel molecular materials with unprecedented control over their properties, even at the single-molecule level, to the possibilities opened by exploiting the unique features of these molecular systems in emerging fields such as bioelectronics and molecular spintronics.

This issue is a tribute to Jaume Veciana and Concepció Rovira, from the Institut de Ciencia dels Materials de Barcelona (Spain), in occasion of their 70th birthdays. Their intense work as chemists and materials scientists has led to seminal contributions in diverse areas of molecular electronics and magnetism.

A small selection of articles from the issue is provided below, and you can read all of the articles from the issue online.

Welcome to our new Associate Editor Veronica Augustyn

05 Aug 2021
We are delighted to welcome our new Journal of Materials Chemistry A and Materials Advances Associate Editor to the journals: Veronica Augustyn of North Carolina State University, USA (ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9885-2882).
“It is an exciting time to be a researcher in materials electrochemistry: synthetic methods, in situ and operando characterization, and simulation and modeling are coming together to advance our understanding of electrochemical mechanisms. I look forward to serving the materials chemistry community as an Associate Editor during this time.”
Veronica Augustyn is an Associate Professor of Materials Science & Engineering and a University Faculty Scholar at North Carolina State University. From 2013 – 2015, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin with Prof. Arumugam Manthiram. She received her Ph.D. (2013) from the University of California, Los Angeles working with Prof. Bruce Dunn. Her research group focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of materials for electrochemical energy technologies including batteries, electrochemical capacitors, electrolyzers, and fuel cells. In particular, she is interested in the relationships between material structure, composition, and morphology, and the resulting electrochemical mechanisms. She also leads an award-winning international project at NC State, SciBridge, which develops renewable energy research and education collaborations between universities in Africa and the U.S. Her research group has been recognized with a 2019 Sloan Fellowship in Chemistry, a 2019 DOE Early Career Award, and a 2017 NSF CAREER Award. In 2021, she was recognized by NC State as a Goodnight Early Career Innovator and received the George H. Blessis Advising Award for her mentorship of undergraduate students.
