Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers have emerged as a versatile class of materials for achieving high proton conductivity, a key attribute for applications in fuel cells, sensors ...
An international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has discovered a metal that combines electrical conductivity ...
Researchers have developed a novel two-dimensional electrically conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) that has 10- to 15-times higher conductivity than the parent MOF that lacks such efficient ...
Researchers found a metal with conductivity and polarity that shows second harmonic generation, an optical effect usually ...
While metallic conductivity in MOFs has been predicted theoretically, it has so far only been put into practice in exceptional cases – and never before in thin-film form required for technical ...
Solid polymer electrolytes formed in situ via covalent organic framework-induced ring-opening copolymerization. Solid polymer electrolytes with a high lithium-ion transference number and desirable ...
Researchers have developed an innovative methodology for measuring the electrical conductivity of microbial communities. This methodology holds promise for the development of batteries and ...
Precious metals may seem unlikely as engineering materials, but the same expensive metals used for coinage and jewelry also satisfy applications requiring the ultimate in corrosion resistance or ...
Metals with nanograins have tremendous strength, but they suffer from minimal work hardening capability and poor temperature resistance, resulting in early failure and restricting their operational ...
