In @jacs.acspublications.org, we report the self-assembly of Ni(II) clusters into porous networks. These materials are robust, reversible, and show excellent gas separation properties in response to solvent or temperature changes.

In #ScienceAdvances, we present a supramolecular strategy to stabilize highly reactive ZnR₂ compounds. This enables structural characterization of species that are normally too unstable to isolate.

Excited to share two new papers from our collaboration with Janusz Lewiński and his team, now published in Science Advances and JACS. A great effort exploring pyrophoric clusters and tunable porous materials.

Entre otras cosas, almacenar energía. Tambien sirve para construir nuevas moléculas cuando se combina, sobre todo, con CO (esto se llama gas de síntesis es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_de_...).

es del 100% por eso depende de energía barata. Lo del hierro es la "reducción" de un óxido metalico. Necesitas algo que se lleve ese oxígeno. Se suele usar coque de petróleo pero se podría usar hidrógeno.
21.05.2025 14:06 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0La red no almacena energía. Lo pueden hacer las baterías (que tienen un coste). Lo puede hacer un embalse si se puede subir el agua (en verano y en según que lugares, quizá no). El hidrógeno es un vector más que cuando lo oxidas para sacar energía te da agua - se entiende que la eficiencia no
21.05.2025 14:06 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0Un resumen muy corto y simple: el hidrógeno tiene dos usos fundamentales, como vector y almacenamiento de energía (podría ser tb una batería o bombear agua arriba en una presa) y, en ciertos sectores como el acero, para poder pasar de óxido de hierro a hierro metálico.

16.03.2025 21:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Not the best wording but they are probably thinking on the intrinsic properties of MOFs rather than e g., composites. We use intrinsic and extrinsic porosity in monoliths when we describe the crystalline porosity and the one created between primary particles but this is of course different.
