Challenges in the Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries Webinar

12 Jun 2020

RSC Advances is very pleased to be sponsoring the upcoming webinar: Challenges in the Recycling of Lithium-Ion Batteries on Monday 6th July, 15:00 – 17:00 BST.

This webinar is hosted by the Applied Materials Chemistry Group for all members to discover and discuss the challenges faced in the recycling and recovery of lithium-ion batteries. With the increase in uptake of electric vehicles, the intended pathway towards greener transportation will inevitably spring up waste and recycling issues for batteries, as well as resource depletion issues for critical raw materials such as lithium. The webinar will discuss the current waste and recycling industry for batteries, share information on the latest research in lithium-ion battery recycling and set challenges in the field for researchers to adopt in the pursuit of a greener future. You can find out more here.

Speakers:

Dr Linda Gaines, Argonne National Laboratory, United Kingdom
Evi Petavratzi, British Geological Survey, United Kingdom
Professor Andrew Abbott, Faraday Institute, University of Leicester, United Kingdom

Registration Deadline: 3rd July

Parastoo (Parry) Hashemi RSC Advances Parastoo (Parry) Hashemi received her MSci degree in Chemistry from King’s College, London. She performed her PhD with Martyn Boutelle in the Department of Bioengineering in Imperial College, London where she developed online biosensing technology to measure brain metabolites from human traumatic brain injury patients. She performed her post doctoral with Mark Wightman at UNC Chapel Hill. Here she developed fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) at carbon-fiber microelectrodes (CFMs) to measure serotonin in vivo using FSCV. She currently runs two research labs in the Department of Chemistry at the University of South Carolina and in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College, London. The focus of her research is to develop diagnostic tools and novel treatments for mental illnesses.

Parry has also recently guest-edited a themed collection on analytical science in neurochemistry for Analyst with Jean-Francois Masson and Martyn G. Boutelle. You can browse the full collection here.

Read our latest Editors’ Collection on Supramolecular Polymers by Associate Editor Sébastien Ulrich

18 May 2020

We are delighted to share with you our latest collection of recently published articles focusing on Supramolecular Polymers, handpicked by Associate Editor Sébastien Ulrich.

Supramolecular polymers results from the poly-association of molecules through non-covalent interactions. Uniquely and because they are self-assembled through reversible linkages, these materials are dynamic and can therefore adapt to different conditions and respond to different stimuli. Although supramolecular polymers were first seen as a lab curiosity, they have now demonstrated their utility in a wide range of applications from material to biological sciences. Recent breakthroughs such as the discovery of living supramolecular polymerization make the field very active and opens up exciting new opportunities.

This collection of selected articles witnesses this blooming activity, by reporting on i) the design of new molecular building blocks that impart new structures and functions, ii) the expansion to new types of self-assembly processes, which affect the dynamic feature of the corresponding adaptive materials, iii) our understanding, modelling and characterization of the mechanism of self-assembly, and iv) on the application of these smart systems in a wide range of area from biomedicine to material science.

As the world’s largest gold open access chemistry journal, all publications in RSC Advances are free to access. We hope you enjoy reading these articles.

We invite you to submit your research to this collection and give your work the global visibility it deserves.

Welcome to our new Associate Editor: Ruchi Gupta

06 Apr 2020

We are delighted to welcome Dr Ruchi Gupta to the RSC Advances team this month!

Ruchi Gupta

Ruchi Gupta is currently a Senior Lecturer and Birmingham Fellow in Healthcare Technologies at University of Birmingham. She completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and McMaster University, Canada respectively. She obtained her PhD from University of Manchester where she stayed as a postdoctoral research fellow and then as a RAEng Enterprise Fellow. She was a Lecturer in Analytical Chemistry at University of Hull between 2014 and 2016. The research in the Gupta group is focused on designing optical sensors that are internally referenced with integrated sample preparation to address the challenges associated with measurement of molecules of interest in real samples, which are complex mixtures, and uncontrolled environmental conditions.

Ruchi says, “I am excited to join RSC Advances as an associate editor and looking forward to contribute to the journal from the analytical science perspective”.
