Omnipath H2 aims to revolutionize the midstream hydrogen industry based on a technology developed in the Surendrath group. We congratulate the team for winning 2nd place at this year’s MIT Climate & Energy Prize.

(relevant xkcd:)
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN?

YES?

I BRING A MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE! I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

WHAT IS IT? 

THE CONVENTION YOU'RE SETTING FOR ELECTRIC CHARGE IS BACKWARD. THE ONE LEFT ON GLASS BY SILK SHOULD BE THE NEGATIVE CHARGE.

normal people with a time machine: "I am your granddaughter" "Really?"

electrochemists with a time machine: [to Ben Franklin] "your sign convention is backwards"

"alchemy" would be the first recorded synthesis of a perbromate salt in 1968 by in situ beta decay of neutron-irradiated selenates Appelman, E. H. (1968). "Synthesis of perbromates". Journal of the American Chemical Society. 90 (7): 1900–1901. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Attempted syntheses of perbromates were unsuccessful until 1968, when it was finally obtained by the beta decay of selenium-83 in a selenate salt:
83SeO4 2- --> 83BrOO4 - + beta particle

oh, are we doing "types of echem paper" again?
TYPES OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY PAPER:

2% FE for NRR
ANOTHER VOLMER-HEYROVSKY-TAFEL STUDY 
WE MADE ANOTHER WEIRD ELECTRODE 
PCET DOES IT AGAIN
SOLVENT EFFECTS ARE IMPORTANT
CVS FOR DUMMIES
WE DID SOME DFT, TRY THIS ELECTRODE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GALVANIPOTENTIAL AND VOLTAPOTENTIAL
WE FIGURED OUT THAT WEIRD MECHANISM
ELECTROCATALYSIS IS THE FUTURE GIVE US MONEY
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ECHEM EXCEPT FOR ME
ACTUALLY 2% NH3 CONTAMINATION IN NRR
WE DID ELECTROCHEM WITH A PHONE CHARGER 
CO2 REDUCTION ON COPPER Y HORI DID IN 1986
WHAT IF ORGANIC SYNTHESIS WERE HARDER

We are proudly a lab of scientific immigrants and American citizens. The two are not mutually exclusive. #chemsky: what are your scientific immigration stories? Share them here!

what's up #chemsky we have arrived get hyped for some incredibly stupid memes made by incredibly talented electrochemists
STOP
doing voltammetry
charge was never meant to transfer
this is very cruel to electrons
