Title: Quantum-Confined 1D Lepidocrocite Titanates and Their Exceptional Properties

Abstract: In 2022, we discovered that reacting >15 Ti-compounds with tetraalkylammonium hydroxides, at 1 atm. and temperatures < 100°C  – more recently at room temperature – converts them into truly one dimensional, lepidocrocite-titania, 1DL, nanofilaments ≈ 5×7 Å2 in cross-section. Quantum confinement to 1D, boosts Eg to ≈ 4 eV. With effective specific surface areas >1500 m2/g, some of their properties are outstanding such as record photochemical H2-production with exceptional (>6 months) stability. DFT calculation suggest 1DLs are thermodynamically stable in water; if so, this would be a first for a 1D material. We show excellent OER rates and stabilities. Electrodes made with 1DLs, or their composites, perform well in supercapacitors, S- and Li-batteries. The record adsorption of heavy metal cations and cationic dyes and the photochemical degradation of the latter into CO2 and water is discussed. The ease, low cost, one pot simplicity and scalability of our process cannot be overstated. Last year we made a 1 kg batch in a lab setting.

Bio: Prof. Michel W. Barsoum is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Drexel University. He is an internationally recognized leader in the area of MAX phases and more recently the 2D solids labeled MXenes derived from the MAX phases. Ten years ago he discovered a new universal mechanism – ripplocation – in the deformation of layered solids. Most recently he discovered a new form on titania: a truly one-dimensional titania. At a core-section of 5×7 Å, this titania is the thinnest possible. With over 550 refereed publications and a Google h index is 151, his work has been cited >136,000 times to date. He has been listed on the Web of Science’s highly cited researchers list from 2018 to the present. According to a recent Stanford University study, he had the highest c-index (combines citations and h-index) in the Materials Science subfield for the last 3 years and is 4th on the all-time list of material scientists in the world.  He is a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Society of Engineering Sciences, National Academy of Inventors, fellow of the American Ceramic Soc. and the World Academy of Ceramics. He is the author the books, MAX Phases: Properties of Machinable Carbides and Nitrides and Fundamentals of Ceramics, a leading textbook in his field. In 2020, he was awarded the International Ceramics Prize for basic science by the World Academy of Ceramics. This prize is awarded quadrennially and is one of the highest in his field. The prize was awarded for “…  outstanding contribution in opening new horizons in material research and specifically for your pioneering work in MAX phases and their derivatives.”

Visit the McMillan Art Gallery from September 25th and October 28th to see work from Ugo Akabike. 

Ugo Akabike is a University of Oregon Alum often thinking about being in a place where the sand is warm, the sky is cerulean blue, and the waves are barreling. Through his photographic endeavors he strives to capture the moments that we often think little of, but remember fondly in reflection. Though often choosing to say little with words, the images he produces announce themselves boldly through their captivating visual nature. Ugo would love to hear from you and what you think about his work! He challenges you to out to him on Instagram right now just to say hello.

Join us for the opening of Special Collections and University Archives’ fall exhibition “No Food Past This Point.” This celebration will include a brief introduction from the exhibit’s curators and a zine workshop featuring reproductions of food-related material from our collections.  

Food permeates every aspect of life, but its inherent impermanence makes it difficult to preserve. Within archives, we see traces of food throughout our collections, but it’s not often the centerpiece. Mapping those traces unearths a narrative of creativity and perseverance in the face of hardship. Our collections showcase that the Pacific Northwest’s history can be told through its bounty and highlight how community and culture are tied to place. 

From Indigenous first foods to home economics and the Second World War, this exhibit explores how poverty, war and inequality all affect the way we eat. At the same time, we see how breaking bread, sharing recipes, and learning from each other unites us. Our shared history of food reminds us to stay connected to our past, our place, and each other.

Deep Listening: Classic Albums from Our Collection

Join UO Libraries weekly in the comfortable Douglass Room lounge for an immersive journey through landmark recordings from Knight Library's extensive audio collection. Each session focuses on a single classic album, providing historical context, artistic background, and guided listening that reveals the craftsmanship behind these influential works. From jazz masterpieces and classical recordings to groundbreaking rock albums and world music treasures, we'll explore how these recordings shaped musical history and continue to influence artists today. Each album will be introduced with insights into the recording process, cultural impact, and musical innovations before we settle in for focused, uninterrupted listening.

This workshop offers a rare opportunity to experience music as it was intended - as a complete artistic statement rather than isolated tracks. Participants will develop deeper appreciation for album construction, production techniques, and the art of active listening while discovering gems from our collection they might never have encountered otherwise. Whether you're a casual music fan looking to expand your horizons or a serious listener seeking new perspectives on familiar works, you'll leave each session with enhanced understanding of how great albums achieve their lasting power. The relaxed lounge setting encourages reflection and discussion, making this both an educational and meditative experience perfect for busy students, faculty, and community members seeking a weekly respite through transformative music.

The Clark Honors College welcomes representatives from UO’s Office of Distinguished Scholarships, who will provide information about prestigious national and international awards.
