Bi2Se3 interlayer treatments affecting the Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) platinum spin Seebeck effect (2023)
Journal Article
Hu, Y., Weir, M. P., Pereira, H. J., Amin, O. J., Pitcairn, J., Cliffe, M. J., …Woodward, S. (2023). Bi2Se3 interlayer treatments affecting the Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) platinum spin Seebeck effect. Applied Physics Letters, 123(22), Article 223902. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0157778

In this work, we present a method to enhance the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect at platinum/yttrium iron garnet (Pt/YIG) interfaces. The introduction of a partial interlayer of bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3, 2.5% surface coverage) interfaces significant...

Can “Electric Flare Stacks” Reduce CO2 Emissions? A Case Study with Nonthermal Plasma (2023)
Journal Article
Molteni, M., Walker, G., Parmar, D., Sutton, M., Licence, P., & Woodward, S. (2023). Can “Electric Flare Stacks” Reduce CO2 Emissions? A Case Study with Nonthermal Plasma. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 62(46), 19649-19657. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.3c02909

Gas flare stacks are the current benchmark technology for industrial pollution control. However, their impact on human health and the environment is not negligible. If net zero CO2 emissions are to be achieved, their current significant CO2 impact (4... Read More about Can “Electric Flare Stacks” Reduce CO2 Emissions? A Case Study with Nonthermal Plasma.

Conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) materials with sustainable carrageenan counter-ions and their thermoelectric properties (2023)
Journal Article
Duan, Z., Phillips, J., Liirò-Peluso, L., Woodward, S., Makarovsky, O., Weir, M. P., …Amabilino, D. B. (2023). Conducting poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) materials with sustainable carrageenan counter-ions and their thermoelectric properties. Materials Advances, 22(4), Article 5573. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3ma00547j

The preparation and properties of conducting polymers comprising poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and two types of carrageenan – each on their own or combined – as counter-ions are described. The aim of the work is to provide alternative, mor...

A Soluble ‘Ba(Ni-ett)’ (ett = 1,1,2,2-Ethenetetrathiolate) Derived Thermoelectric Material (2023)
Journal Article
Hu, Y., Rivers, G., Weir, M. P., Amabilino, D. B., Tuck, C. J., Wildman, R. D., …Woodward, S. (2023). A Soluble ‘Ba(Ni-ett)’ (ett = 1,1,2,2-Ethenetetrathiolate) Derived Thermoelectric Material. Electronic Materials Letters, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13391-023-00454-z

We describe the synthesis and characterisation of the first of a new class of soluble ladder oligomeric thermoelectric material based on previously unutilised ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrasulfonic acid. Reaction of Ba(OH)2 and propionic acid at a 1:1 stoichio... Read More about A Soluble ‘Ba(Ni-ett)’ (ett = 1,1,2,2-Ethenetetrathiolate) Derived Thermoelectric Material.

ML meets MLn: machine learning in ligand promoted homogeneous catalysis (2023)
Journal Article
Hirst, J. D., Boobier, S., Coughlan, J., Streets, J., Jacob, P. L., Pugh, O., …Woodward, S. (2023). ML meets MLn: machine learning in ligand promoted homogeneous catalysis. Artificial Intelligence Chemistry, 1(2), Article 100006. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aichem.2023.100006

The benefits of using machine learning approaches in the design, optimisation and understanding of homogeneous catalytic processes are being increasingly realised. We focus on the understanding and implementation of key concepts, which serve as condu... Read More about ML meets MLn: machine learning in ligand promoted homogeneous catalysis.

Synthesis of Fluorinated Hydrazinylthiazole Derivatives: A Virtual and Experimental Approach to Diabetes Management (2023)
Journal Article

A Scalable Synthesis of Chiral Himbert Diene Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis (2023)
Journal Article
Rit, R., Li, H., Argent, S. P., Wheelhouse, K. M., Woodward, S., & Lam, H. W. (2023). A Scalable Synthesis of Chiral Himbert Diene Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis. Advanced Synthesis and Catalysis, 365(10), 1629-1639. https://doi.org/10.1002/adsc.202300039

Chiral dienes are important ligands in asymmetric catalysis but they are less accessible than other commonly used ligands such as chiral bisphosphines. Here, we show that intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of a simply attained chiral allenecarboxan... Read More about A Scalable Synthesis of Chiral Himbert Diene Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis.
