May 2020

There are lots of different ways to look at the reach of an article. You can look at citations, Altmetric Attention Scores, awards, and more. One way to consider the influence of an article is just by looking at how many people chose to read it. To that end, we’ve compiled lists of the five most-read chemistry articles from each ACS Publications journal in April 2020, including research, reviews, perspectives, and editorial pieces. These lists were not chosen by the journal’s editors and should not be taken as a “best of” list, but as another perspective on where the chemistry community allocated their attention.

The Editors of ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute are delighted to announce the three winners of the 2020 ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Lectureship Awards. These awards recognize the research contributions of scientists in three geographical regions, working in green chemistry, green engineering, and sustainability in the chemical enterprise, who have completed their academic training within the past ten years. Lectureship award-winners are selected for three regions: The Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Asia/Pacific.

Professor Katalin Barta, University of Graz

Representing the Europe/Middle East/Africa region, Professor Katalin Barta of the University of Graz (Graz, Austria), is being honored for the development of sustainable catalytic solutions for lignin depolymerization and the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass.

What will you be presenting at the conference?

I will be presenting how, in the past few years, our attempts to ‘tame’ or tackle the complexity of lignocellulose and how we tried to gain more understanding about this interesting material. As I will show, it can serve as a good source for fuels, building blocks, and even biologically active molecules.

How have the COVID-19 shutdowns and restrictions changed the way you and your lab members work together and approach your research?

It was a particularly challenging situation as my lab was in the middle of a move from the University of Groningen to the University of Graz. One half of the group just arrived in Graz and went to a lockdown straight away – we did not even manage to unpack our boxes properly. The other half of the lab got stuck in Groningen, not knowing exactly when they can move. All this, plus two small children at home, inspired sufficient creativity in our ‘scientific methods.’ For example, instead of set meeting times, I frequently called my Ph.D. students or post-docs when I was out in the garden playing with my son or while cooking lunch or dinner. I hope all of this experience will bring us even closer as a group, and we will appreciate the little things in our everyday lab life when the group will be finally reunited. I also gave my coworkers the advice to use this time of isolation to look deeply into their research, read, read, read, and don’t search for answers. Rather, try to find fascinating research questions!

What type of work can we look forward to seeing from you in the future?

I hope my group will surprise me with all those great ideas they had during this shutdown. So, we will work on those and see where research takes us.

Professor Feng Wang, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics

Representing the Asia/Pacific region, Professor Feng Wang, of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (Dalian, China), is being honored for the deployment of sustainable catalysis and photocatalytic methods to selectively transform biomass and its derivatives into oxygenated platform chemicals.

What will you be presenting at the conference?

I will present our recent work on the photocatalytic conversion of biomass and its derivatives to several kinds of valuable products, such as methanol, syngas, alkane, and diesel precursors. I will discuss the underlying reaction mechanism of photocatalysis.

How have the COVID-19 shutdowns and restrictions changed the way you and your lab members work together and approach your research?

The pandemic postponed the lab member’s return. All on-site scientific meetings in the past four months have been canceled. Some of the meetings have been moved online, as well as our weekly group meetings.

What type of work can we look forward to seeing from you in the future?

We are now working on more efficient catalysts and new methods of converting biomass to chemicals. This work will combine biocatalysts and heterogeneous catalysts together to realize pretreatment and conversion in a harmonious way.

Professor Jonas Baltrusaitis, Lehigh University

Representing the Americas region, Professor Jonas Baltrusaitis of Lehigh University (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA), is being honored for applying the varied concepts of sustainable chemistry and engineering, particularly in the fields of advanced materials science and supramolecular chemistry, to the delivery of more sustainable fertilizers and nutrients

What will you be presenting at the conference?

Managing the nitrogen cycle is one of the 14 Grand Challenges for engineering in the 21st century, as put forth by the National Academy of Engineering. My presentation will focus on describing this challenge in terms of its uniqueness, how it differs from, say other food/energy//water related global challenges, such as managing phosphorus cycle and presenting examples from my research group work geared towards mitigating it.

How have the COVID-19 shutdowns and restrictions changed the way you and your lab members work together and approach your research?

It made us reconsider the scope of our work. While the research in my lab relies heavily on complex instrumentation, such as Raman and infrared spectroscopy, we analyzed the literature and identified specific areas where we need to advance the molecular modeling. We use it to interpret our spectroscopic data as well as establishing previously hypothesized surface structures of urea cocrystals as well as some heterogeneous catalysts we use. By doing so, graduate students had an opportunity to explore new concepts, such as density functional theory, as well as to analyze their data from the thermodynamic and kinetic perspectives. The current work has been funded by NSF Chemistry and resulted in a series of publications elucidating the pathways of low mineral surface chemistry during aqueous ammonium and phosphate ion adsorption.

What type of work can we look forward to seeing from you in the future?

Thank you for the opportunity to reflect on this. I have always aimed to identify problems of global significance and tailored the work performed in my group accordingly. In the past few years, I have been conceptualizing ways to paradigmatically change the global nitrogen cycle, which is the source of tremendous energy consumption and atmospheric and watershed pollution. This is by no means an easy task. Currently, only about 50% of the applied urea nitrogen is absorbed by the plants unless synthetic organophosphorus compounds – urease inhibitors – are utilized to decrease the hydrolysis rate of urea.

Urease inhibitors have a rather short half-life (~4 days) in the environment and result in negative environmental effects such as leaf-tip necrosis or limited capacity of plants to utilize urea as an N-source. They have added costs to farmers while, most importantly, being a source of synthetic organophosphorus compounds to the environment and possessing potential toxicity effects (such as reproductive hazard, as inferred from MSDS of N-(n-butyl)-thiophosphoric triamide). We propose engineering organophosphorus-free urea cocrystals using a solvent-free sustainable mechanochemical synthesis and quantifying the resulting nitrogen gas emissions, nitrogen partitioning into the soil (longevity/stability therein), and plants.

The proposed work would: (a) utilize natural minerals, such as gypsum, calcite, magnesite, dolomite, and others to also deliver other macro and micronutrients necessary for the plants and (b) utilize other widely available inorganic salts (chlorides, nitrates, sulfates, and hydrophosphates) to encapsulate urea in these molecular crystals.

As is typical to our lab, we will utilize a combination of the in situ molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations trying to understand how and why certain urea cocrystals are more stable in the environment while also synthesizing new ones and elucidating their crystal structure. This fascinating research very recently was recommended for funding by USDA NIFA, for which we are grateful.

Julie L. Fenton

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am currently an Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University. I have been working to develop new routes to covalent organic framework thin films and membranes. I earned my B.S. degree in chemistry at Messiah College and my Ph.D. in Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy cross-training, trivia, cooking, and travel.

Describe your current research (or areas of interest).

Broadly, I consider myself a synthetic materials chemist. Though I have worked on numerous types of materials, including classic inorganic solids, colloidal nanoparticles, framework materials, and polymers, my interests have largely focused on developing new and effective tools to break through the traditional synthetic bottlenecks, opening the door to generate increasingly complex materials, targeted properties, or other challenging features.

What are the major challenges facing early career chemists/scientists?

Science is a demanding, time-intensive career no matter what stage you are in. An increasingly competitive scientific landscape coupled with limited funding resources only compounds the best-case scenario stress.

As an early career researcher transitions from a lab-centric job to a managerial role, the technical competences that earned them the job must be supplemented, rapidly, with additional skills: budgeting, managerial tasks, solo grant & manuscript writing, teaching, navigating review processes, etc. They must do all this while getting their lab set-up, seeking tenure, supporting their trainees, and doing lab work. The amount of time dedicated to this “on-the-job” training seems to be a big differentiator between later-stage researchers and early-career researchers.

In your opinion, what are some of the current global challenges you think have to be addressed by innovative materials science and engineering research?

I think the most exciting thing about science, all science, is the serendipity – that we truly don’t know what or where the next big breakthrough is going to be. Materials research broadly is poised to make breakthroughs across numerous fields: catalysis, electronics, renewables, biomedicine, energy storage, to name a few. Developing new materials will enable heretofore unimagined properties and applications to meet world needs.

Vivek Polshettiwar

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am an Associate Professor in the Division of Chemical Sciences at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). After earning my Ph.D. in 2005, I worked as a postdoc at École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Montpellier and as Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education research associate at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). I also started an independent group of nanocatalysis at KAUST from 2009-2013.

Describe your current research (or areas of interest).

My group is working on the development of novel nanomaterials as catalysts to tackle climate change.

What are the major challenges facing early career chemists?

After spending 7-years in Indian academia, one of the key challenges that I faced/ am facing is the accessibility of instruments and facilities, such as TEM, solid-state NMR, etc.

In your opinion, what are some of the current global challenges you think have to be addressed by innovative materials science and engineering research?

Climate change hits a giant weak spot in human history. Disproportionate use (or misuse) of natural resources, including fossil fuels, created an extreme imbalance on planet earth. The first priority of many materials researchers is to take on this challenge by innovating new materials.

On the other hand, a sustainable way to solve the energy problem is to generate alternative energy sources such as renewal electricity by using solar cells or hydrogen by conducting photo- or electrocatalytic water splitting. New photocatalytic materials are the solution to this challenge.

Makhsud Saidaminov

Tell us a little about yourself.

As of January 2020, I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Victoria. Before this position, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto and at KAUST. I received my Ph.D. from Moscow State University.

I grew up in a beautiful and mountainous Tajikistan.

Describe your current research (or areas of interest).

My areas of interest cover physics and chemistry of hybrid materials. In particular, we are interested in halide perovskites for energy applications, from sustainable harvesting of energy to its efficient consumption.

What are the major challenges facing early career chemists?

I traveled half of the globe to find a job that I love. I faced many expected and unexpected obstacles, but I was blessed to have caring family members, colleagues, and friends around me who made this journey enjoyable.

In my new role as an Assistant Professor, I am preparing to be challenged with funding, publishing, and work-life balance. I am curious about the unexpected challenges that my career has prepared ahead of me, but I am sure it will be an excellent opportunity to learn new skills.

In your opinion, what are some of the current global challenges you think have to be addressed by innovative materials science and engineering research?

I feel materials science and engineering (MSE) has a defining role to play in addressing our energy – and, hence, climate change – challenges. We need materials that efficiently harvest energy from renewable sources, store it in a small space, and transmit it with little or no loss. I also believe in the role of MSE in building a more equitable world, where additive manufacturing will print anything we need at a very low cost.

Sahar Sharifzadeh

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am an assistant professor at Boston University. My main appointments are materials science and engineering and electrical and computer engineering. I also have affiliations with the chemistry and physics departments.

Describe your current research (or areas of interest).

My research interests are focused on understanding and predicting the atomic-scale physical phenomena that drive the functional behavior of novel materials using first-principles theory. Specifically, I am interested in how imperfections introduced into organic and inorganic crystals (such as defects, interfaces, atomic and molecular vibrations) influence the electronic structure and excitonic properties.

In your opinion, what are some of the current global challenges you think have to be addressed by innovative materials science and engineering research?

I think materials science and engineering can address many of the challenges that we are facing, especially those that require next-generation technologies such as solar cells, carbon capture, or quantum computing. By developing new materials or understanding materials properties, we can help develop these technologies.

Benjamin C.K. Tee

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I received my Ph.D. at Stanford University. After having co-founded a company in medical devices with FDA clearance, I wanted to bring this experience back to academia and help train scientists and engineers who are passionate about bringing science to the real-world and user impact.

I am also quite a Trekkie and a Star Wars fan and enjoy wondering whether science fiction can become a scientific reality.

Describe your current research (or areas of interest).

I am currently working on the theme of nature-inspired sensorware. The natural world presents significant opportunities for scientists and engineers to emulate because of its efficient sophistication. My work heavily intersects nanoscience, chemistry, electronic materials, and electrical engineering.

One big effort in my team is to create self-healing electronic materials and devices that are skin-like. I am also interested in developing neuromorphic systems, which more closely mimics the human nervous system, such as the brain and nerves. These efforts converge towards sophisticatedly efficient artificial sensory systems.

What are the major challenges facing early career chemists/scientists?

I tend to see challenges more as opportunities. I think being an early career scientist is perhaps the most enjoyable phase because you get the freedom to decide how you want to define your work and how it contributes to society.

There are demands of a scientist within academia and industry that often requires other skill sets such as administration, lab construction, etc. These skills are often not exposed at an early stage of a scientific career. Hence, it is good for early-career chemists/scientists to seek out mentors that can provide guidance and advice within their network.

In your opinion, what are some of the current global challenges you think have to be addressed by innovative materials science and engineering research?

The fields of materials science and engineering define our technological eras and human societal development. I think technological progress has led to a dramatic rise in technological consumption. I think materials science and engineering can help us look at new ways we consume technology. For example, could a mobile phone be self-repairable, so we no longer need to dispose of them when they break or become obsolete? New and brave proposals may need to be explored that could take decades of work to realize. This is also why materials science and engineering will always be exciting: the potential to solve challenges on a global scale.

Wolfgang Zeier

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am a faculty member in the Physikalisch-Chemisches Institut at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen. I’m an enthusiastic soccer fan. Sports and my family keep me in balance. I avoid taking things too seriously when it comes to research – fun and some degree of silliness is needed to encourage creativity and productivity.

Describe your current research.

My current research interests lie on the fundamental structure – property relationships in solids, focusing on thermoelectrics and ionic conductors, as well as the chemistry of solid-solid interfaces for the development of all-solid-state batteries. We often pursue the idea that changing the underlying bonding interaction in materials affects their functional properties and that there must be an experimental way to understand why.

What are the major challenges facing early career chemists?

It seems that over the last decades, science has become very fast-paced, and one needs to keep up early on. One is often being evaluated on metrics and number of publications, less on the creative science. At the same time, we need creative, out-of-the-box thinking, but funding opportunities are scarce without promising preliminary results.

In your opinion, what are some current global challenges you think must be addressed by innovative materials science and engineering research?

Without a doubt, our society faces the serious challenges of climate change as well as raw materials abundance and accessibility. I hope that innovative material science can help tailor functional materials that can help mitigate energy problems and find novel materials and processing routes for a sustainable future.
