Too Many Materials and Too Many Applications
D. Ongari, L. Talirz, and B. Smit, Too Many Materials and Too Many Applications: An Experimental Problem Waiting for a Computational Solution ACS Cent. Sci. (2020) http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acscentsci.0c00988 Abstract: Finding the best material for a specific application is the ultimate goal of materials discovery. However, there is also the reverse problem: when experimental groups discover a (…)
Charge Separation and Charge Carrier Mobility in Photocatalytic MOFs
M. Fumanal, A. Ortega-Guerrero, K. M. Jablonka, B. Smit, and I. Tavernelli, Charge Separation and Charge Carrier Mobility in Photocatalytic Metal-Organic Frameworks Adv. Funct. Mater. (2020) http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202003792 Abstract Metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly versatile materials owing to their vast structural and chemical tunability. These hybrid inorganic–organic crystalline materials offer an ideal platform to incorporate light‐harvesting (…)
