[institut] Reminder - Photonics Center Seminar, Wednesday, 22. 07. 2026. at 12h

[Mihailo Rabasovic]

Dear colleagues, 

You are kindly invited to the Photonics center seminar, which will be
held on Wednesday, 22. 07. 2026. at 12h, in the "Dragan Popović" hall.
We have a guest from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), prof.
Michael Pravica. He will give us a talk entitled

Driving novel chemistry with x-rays to benefit battery science.

The seminar abstract is below in the e-mail. 

Best regards,
Mihailo Rabasović

Abstract:
"We have been developing useful hard x-ray photochemistry as a means to
perform novel chemistry by taking advantage of the highly penetrating
and ionizing properties of hard x-rays (>7keV) which allows us to access
regions of the thermodynamic free energy phase space that are currently
inaccessible via modern synthetic methods.  Recently, we realized that
hard x-rays might be useful as a means of altering battery
electrochemistry.  This is particularly relevant as no one really knows
how to properly dispose of lithium batteries and it is more expensive to
recycle them than to make new batteries.  This talk will discuss recent
discoveries made in the effort to drive lithium chemistry with hard
x-rays."
