Microporous metallic scaffolds supported liquid infused icephobic construction (2022)
Journal Article

Hypothesis: Ice accretion on component surfaces often causes severe impacts or accidents. Liquid-infused surfaces (LIS) have drawn much attention as icephobic materials for ice mitigation in recent years due to their outstanding icephobicity. However...

Cage Molecules Stabilize Lead Halide Perovskite Thin Films (2022)
Journal Article

The environmental stability of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) materials needs to increase, to enable their widespread adoption in thin-film solar and optoelectronic devices. Molecular additives emerged recently as an effective strategy to... Read More about Cage Molecules Stabilize Lead Halide Perovskite Thin Films.

Fundamentals of hydrogen storage in nanoporous materials (2022)
Journal Article

Physisorption of hydrogen in nanoporous materials offers an efficient and competitive alternative for hydrogen storage. At low temperatures (e.g. 77 K) and moderate pressures (below 100 bar) molecular H2 adsorbs reversibly, with very fast kinetics, a...

Docking rings in a solid: reversible assembling of pseudorotaxanes inside a zirconium metal–organic framework (2022)
Journal Article

An unprecedented zirconium metal–organic framework featuring a T-shaped benzimidazole strut was constructed and employed as a sponge-like material for selective absorption of macrocyclic guests. The neutral benzimidazole domain of the as-synthesized... Read More about Docking rings in a solid: reversible assembling of pseudorotaxanes inside a zirconium metal–organic framework.
