Electro-Chemical Actuation of Nanoporous Metal Materials Induced by Surface Stress

Electroactive Nanoporous Metal Oxides and Chalcogenides by Chemical Design

The archetypal silica- and aluminosilicate-based zeolite-type materials are renowned for wide-ranging applications in heterogeneous catalysis, gas-separation and ion-exchange. Their compositional space can be expanded to include nanoporous metal chalcogenides, exemplified by germanium and tin sulfides and selenides. By comparison with the properties of bulk metal dichalcogenides and their 2D de...

Towards ultra-stiff materials: Surface effects on nanoporous materials

Prospects for Nanoporous Metal-Organic Materials in Advanced Separations Processes

New materials spur new technologies. Nanoporous metalorganic materials — “soft materials”analogues of zeolites, but with all of the chemical diversity of carbon compounds — may be compelling examples of this path from materials to technologies. Research teams investigating this new class of materials are trying to develop adsorbents and membranes that will revolutionize small-molecule separatio...

Nanoporous materials.

The current review article attempts to cover the field of nanoporous materials, thereby materials with voids of the order of 1 nm to 100 nm or even larger. Concepts, that have an effect on a more general basis, are introduced and the common features among the different classes of nanoporous materials are demonstrated enabling understanding their formation and stability. It is seen that the most...

Metal-organic framework materials as chemical sensors.

1. INTRODUCTION Among the classes of highly porous materials, metalÀorganic frameworks (MOFs) are unparalleled in their degree of tunability and structural diversity as well as their range of chemical and physical properties. MOFs are extended crystalline structures wherein metal cations or clusters of cations (" nodes ") are connected by multitopic organic " strut " or " linker " ions or molec...
