I *love* this ternary chart showing developing economies increasingly go directly for clean electrons (solar plus some wind), bypassing the fossil economy that the US and EU went through.
I expect Africa will take an even more direct route than India.

Was a PhD a good investment? TBD.
Was @joshuagallaway.bsky.social an incredible advisor? No question.
Battery Burn Book exists because of Josh. Credit where credit is due.

Maybe the best thing on the internet still? Certainly the most essential counter we have to our current shitstream of social media-driven misinformation.
Just accepted a review. Due date Dec 25 baby.

Saying farewell to CHME 5621 Electrochemical Engineering class for fall 2025 today. The future is electrochemical!
Good thread for understanding grid modernization (batteries make an appearance on down the thread!)
🔋The biggest bottleneck for Western battery manufacturing isn’t capital or policy. It’s talent.
There just aren’t enough people with the experience to run gigafactory-scale production.
That shortage is a key reason why companies like Northvolt have failed.

I'm not inherently opposed to AI images, but I spent some time trying to get it to make me an illustration of an "industrial electrochemical process" and it came up with this.
I agree with this. I think (college) education is a solved problem. Access to education is what's revolutionary.
Congrats!
When you write the Butler-Volmer equation, do you include "n" (number of electrons) terms in it?
“Batteries push investment into flexibility, smooth demand peaks, and keep the grid stable at lower cost. They will be the foundation of a power system that can deliver abundant electricity, with reliability built in, rather than as an afterthought” #battchat

Owl butterfly in all its life stages on a branch of cardinals guard that has twisting red flowers. The butterfly, shown in two positions, has large golden brown eyespots on the outer part of the wings whereas the inside are blue and brown. The caterpillar is orange with grey hairs, and the chrysalis is light green and pink with a slight fishhook shape. The butterfly’s eggs are also shown on the leaves of the plant. A small dark red wasp flies in the background
Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) was a scientific illustrator most famous for her 'Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium'. In this book filled with beautifully illustrated plates she explored the then poorly understood concept of insect metamorphosis.
I drove on the "wrong" side years ago in Turks and Caicos. Every time I made a turn, I said, out loud "left is a near turn" or "right is a far turn." It helped me not go into the wrong lane (which always happened if I wasn't thinking about it).
This is my favorite
The real news of the week if that Michael Stipe is telling people what the lyrics are to It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
As an educator, this is almost obvious to me. You don’t learn a topic or a skill without putting in the work. I’m currently going through every problem in a thermodynamics textbook to relearn the subject. Slow & sometimes tedious, but the only way to gain anything more than a superficial knowledge.
The National Weather Service bulletin for Hurricane Katrina, issued 28 August 2005, was the most upsetting document I had ever read in my life at that point, and 20 years later it still is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...
After months of intensive collaboration, I am thrilled to present our latest #paper: a review of zinc-based rechargeable #battery technologies and a techno-economic analysis of the various battery types. Many thanks to my co-authors for the excellent collaboration. #battchat

Ultimately my favorite Stones album, with "Worried about you" being my favorite track.
Congrats!

Me and PhD student Yogesh at DOE OE Energy Storage Peer Review this week.
Eric and team used synchrotron EXAFS to ID the Mn(III) intermediate, a disordered layered MnOOH with an unconventional Jahn-Teller distortion.

However, using diffraction you can't observe the Mn(III) intermediate. This intermediate is where all the action is, because it's the point of failure if you don't modify the cell with a bismuth (Bi) additive.
