Dr. Hao Liu's group, in collaboration with Dr. Louis Piper and Dr. Manuel Smeu groups from Physics Department, has received a three-year NSF award (CBET-2028722, $605,209 in total) . This award, entitled 'Rational Design of Oxide Cathode Coatings for High Performance Li-ion Batteries', will investigate the fundamental role of surface coating layers in battery electrodes. Surface coating is widely used as a practical method to improve the performance of Li-ion battery electrode, yet its impact on Li-ion transport and electrode-electrolyte interface stability is not well understood. The research will provide insight into atomic-level processes in order to guide the development of robust coating layers that can be scaled up into manufacturing-grade testing.

Dan Ciulla, first recipient of the prestigious John Eisch Summer Fellowship.
Congratulations to Dan Ciulla, 2nd year PhD student (Callahan Group), as the first recipient of the prestigious John Eisch Summer Fellowship. Following the example set forth by Professor Eisch, Dan is a dedicated scholar, tireless worker and fearless experimentalist. Dan fully embodies the theme of the John Eisch Summer Fellowship: Chemical Research Beyond Expectation.
Despite a relatively short time in our Chemistry PhD program, Dan already has 5 peer-reviewed publications, a list that includes two first-author publications, one in JACS and one in ChemComm, and a co-first author publication, also in JACS. Dan’s first-author paper in JACS was selected by the journal editors as the cover feature!
In his most recent work, Dan is applying the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas gene editing technology as a means toward discovering new and more effective cancer therapies. Dan’s newly created research tools have paved the way for an exciting collaboration focused on cancer drug discovery involving the Callahan lab and the National Institutes of Health.

Chemistry 107 is designed as the first semester of atwo-semester sequence in introductory chemistry.No previous background in chemistry is assumed.The first semester provides anintroduction to the structure of atoms and molecules.In developing a detailed understanding of the structure ofatoms and molecules, appreciating why molecules react to form new moleculesbecomes much more rewarding; memorization becomes much less necessary.Chemistry 108, Chemical Reactivity,will explore why molecules react, building upon the foundation established thissemester.
Class meeting times:9:30-10:50 M, W, F-- lab meets once a week as well.Class will meet in Dana 119.
Office hours:
Tuesday9:00-10:00 and Friday 10:50-11:30
Nobilis manuals. Exam Dates:
You must take every exam when scheduled.Students with special needs must makearrangements with the Dean of Students office in advance of the exams.The exams will be designed so that timewill not be an issue for the well-prepared student.
Final examDecember13th8:00 am
Travel plans must be made so as not to interfere with finalexams.It is college policy thatfinal exams can only be rescheduled if you have three or more finals on oneday.
Grading:
4exams55%
Final25%
Lab20%
Exams will cover material discussed in class, assigned inproblems, assigned in readings from the text, or covered in lab.The final exam will be cumulative.A standard grading system will be inplace where grades between 90-100 will receive A¹s, 80-89.9 will receive B¹s, 70-79.9will receive C¹s, 60-69.9 will receive D¹s and grades lower than 60 willreceive an F.Pluses and minuseswill be used for scores within 2 points of the cut-off point.Students who attend class every day andare attentive may find that they receive a slight ³curve² upwards at the end ofthe semester, but generally, grades are not curved.
Textbook:Chemistry, The Central Scienceby Brown, Lemay and Bursten 10th edition.It is available at the bookstore
Laboratory:Chemistry 107 has a weekly three hour lab.Successful completion of the laboratoryportion of the course is a requirement for passing CHEM 107.Labs start the week of September 11th.
Prior to the first lab meeting, you must purchase a CHEM 107lab manual, which is available at the student bookstore, a lab notebook (a labnotebook with a carbon copy is required), and safety goggles, which are alsoavailable at the student stores.
Laboratory attendance is mandatory.Any rescheduling of labs must berequested well in advance.Thesechanges can only be requested and it needs to be requested from both the personwho teaches the lab you normally attend and the person who teaches the labsection that you wish to attend.If the scheduling request is not granted, you must attend the regularlyscheduled lab.
Electronic Resources: www/~raustin.bates.eduOn myweb page, there is a separate section for CHEM 107.On this section, I will try to post answer keys, notes, examkeys, etc.It is a good place tocheck for homework assignments or clarifications of points raised inlecture.I will also keep thewebct page up to date.
Suggestions for success:
·Readthe assigned material before coming to class.I will assume you have and will build the day¹s activitieson that assumption.
·Doall the assigned problems.
·Cometo every class, unless you are very sick with something contagious.Avoid behaviors that will interferewith class attendance.
·Takeadvantage of the peer assisted learning groups provided by the Dean ofFaculty¹s office
·Ifyou find that you are having a hard time understanding the material, askquestions during class.Chancesare other people have the same questions.If that does not resolve the difficulties, see the instructor.There are additional tutors availableat no cost to you.The instructoris also available to answer questions outside of class.
·Instudying for exams, think hard about the topics covered in lecture, lab and thetextbook.Don¹t simply read overyour notes or reread the text.Rather, ask yourself what the main points of each day¹s lectureswere.Try to explain thoseconcepts to another classmate.
·Remember,this course is designed so that any student can be successful at it.It is not hard.Itdoes require that you consistently work with the course material and that youmaintain a productive and positive attitude towards your work.
·Whilethis course is not very math-intensive, a math and statistics workshop isavailable on campus should you want additional assistance with mathematicalaspects of the course.

Academic Honesty:
As a student at BatesCollege, you are obliged to follow the College's policies on academic honestand fair use of materials.Complete guidelines for academic honesty are found in the student handbook.I expect you to read those guidelines.
In this course, the key aspects of academic honesty that youwill need attend to are 1. not cheating on exams and 2. doing your own work onlab reports.
The first point is pretty self explanatory.Multiple versions of exams aregenerally present in the classroom to discourage cheating.You may bring a 5 x 7 notecard to eachexam.Bringing in additional informationor conversing with classmates during the exam (or in a time period when one ofyou has taken the exam and the other has not) is not allowed.Any student caught cheating on an examwill be referred to the Student Conduct Committee and, if found guilty, he orshe will fail the course.
The second point can be more confusing, especially when youare working with other people on a lab report.Use your own words in writing the reports.If you are uncertain what degree ofcollaboration is acceptable in writing a lab report, check with the labinstructor or course instructor.
