-Hierarchical Assembly for Renewable Energies-

Discrete System

Molecular cages, macrocycles, and clusters with zero dimensional structure

Features: Internal cavity, controllable charge, flexible material, processability

Representative materials: porous coordination cages, porous organic cages, polyoxometalates, metal clusters


Frame Structure

A framework structure that connects organic ligands through covalent bonds or weak interactions

Features: Customized pore channels, flexible skeleton, stability, hirarchical pores

Representative materials: metal-organic frameworks, covalent-organic frameworks, hydrogen-organic frameworks, weak interaction frameworks


The Third Space

Discrete structures are various topological structures with hierarchical porosity formed by intermolecular stacking, or composite multilevel structures formed by connecting supramolecular elements with internal pores

Features: Multiple pores, multiple active centers, predictability of external channels, topological diversity

Representative materials: cage-based open framework, cage-based HOFs, cage-modified MOFs, cage cluster coordination skeleton, POM-based MOFs


Objective

We do have a goal

Not necessarily in a specific field, as long as the research is inspiring.

Molecular Assembly that Develops Renewable Energies

If you were to consult a dictionary, you'd find no entry for this particular combination of ideas. Yet, the trajectory of technology is clearly steering towards greater environmental sustainability.

Throughout history, it's been evident that human civilization has flourished and thrived by harnessing different forms of energy. Today, we're delving into the realm of renewable energy to ensure our continued existence and well - being.

In this ongoing quest, the progress made in new materials represents a modest yet vital stride.
