In our third publication in Journal of Electrochemical Society this year, we report the electrochemical behaviour of samarium(III) and the electrodeposition of samarium in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, ionic liquid. Congratulations to C Andrew.

This work started in 2018 as Andrew's first one. We did the experimental work and when about to draft a manuscript, someone published same work in J. Electrochemical Society. Subsequently, left the work for couple of years.

Last year in 2021 we reworked and communicated to JECS. Rejected with major comments.

We again reworked and submitted this June. Received minor comments. Revised and submitted to get accepted in same JECS journal.

Technically 4 years for one paper.

Very challenging for young researchers, whether you are the supervisor or the student. Today's research requires a tough combination of hard work, perseverance and patience, more than ever.

Using choline chloride: urea, we report electrodeposition and electroless deposition of rhenium coatings from deep eutectic solvent for the first time. Congratulations to all authors. Keerthi Natarajan makes her first publication.

In this work, we report the electrochemical redox behavior of Sm(III) in three different electrolytes using DCA- based ionic liquid and different Sm(III) precursors. Based on non-identical Vibrational spectroscopy and voltammetry for different Sm(III) electrolytes, we propose a plausible mechanism for the dissolution and reduction of Sm(III) precursors in DCA based ionic liquid. Congratulations to Chrysanthus Andrew. Congratulations to Chandran Murugesan for his debut publication.

Our collaborative review article with Dr. V Murugan, EEC Division, published in Trends in Analytical Chemistry. Congratulations to P. Kanagavalli & Chrysanthus Andrew

Congratulations to Chrysanthus Andrew for his first publication in his doctoral work in the unsurmountable Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry. Cheers to Chrys' perseverance and patience. Congratulations to Dhivya Murugan for her maiden publication

Congratulations to V R Chithambara Thanu and Chrysanthus Andrew

First independent paper of our group just published in prestigious Separation and Purification Technology.

Congratulations V R Chithambara Thanu.

Bon Voyage and Best Wishes to V R Chithambara Thanu who's joined RWTH Aachen University for his Master's
