. Currently, most lithium-ion batteries use an organic liquid (made of compounds that contain carbon atoms) to move ions, and they work well in smaller electronics, as well as new electric vehicles, but can become dangerous. Study Chemistry at PLUThe Department of Chemistry has an outstanding curriculum, excellent faculty, great facilities, and is accredited by the American Chemical Society. Its faculty and staff will be happy to help if you need more information about the department or PLU.These liquids

of all the hard work that goes into improving technologies such as batteries,” she says. “It was exciting to work on a project that could help to support the switch away from fossil fuels.” The work centers on polymers — large molecules made up of smaller molecules linked together like a chain — which make up everything from nylon and polyester clothing to Teflon pans. In the future, it may improve lithium-ion batteries.Currently, most lithium-ion batteries use an organic liquid (made of

Graduate Program Opportunity – LSU Posted by: nicolacs / October 2, 2019 October 2, 2019 The Department of Chemistry at Louisiana State University is looking for excellent students for our graduate program. Our faculty perform research in diverse areas from organic chemistry to structural biology to materials science, energy-related research, and environmental chemistry. Kevin Smith’s group continues its longstanding work on porphyrin chemistry, and Isiah Warner’s group continues its

Major Minute: Andrea Munro on Chemistry Posted by: vcraker / November 10, 2021 November 10, 2021 The PLU chemistry faculty has expertise in all of the major disciplines of chemistry: organic, analytical, physical, inorganic, polymer, and biochemistry. Our curriculum will prepare you for a job or for graduate study toward an advanced degree. In this Major Minute, Dr. Andrea Munro, Associate Professor and Chair of Chemistry shares why it’s a great time to study chemistry and why PLU is a great

2020 UNT Chemistry NSF-REU Program Posted by: alemanem / January 27, 2020 January 27, 2020 This program offers interdisciplinary research experiences at the forefront of the chemical sciences. Although our faculty research groups are grounded in “traditional” areas of chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, physical), most of their research projects cross boundaries between these areas. A unique aspect of our REU program is that all projects will involve collaboration between two or more
