The team applied the framework to polymer-based porous materials as a representative model system and demonstrated its capability to explore how polymerization dynamics influence various general and ...

Freshwater scarcity is driving demand for desalination technologies that are efficient, low-cost, and reliable beyond the laboratory. A new lotus-root-inspired solar evaporator offers a promising ...

Researchers at Koç University have developed a light-driven method to produce porous semiconducting polymers under ambient conditions without the need for metal catalysts. The study, led by Prof. Dr.

Porous carbon materials with good microwave absorption properties were prepared by Friedel-Crafts reaction and high-temperature carbonization using inexpensive coal tar pitch as carbon source. Porous ...

Researchers developed a visible-light-driven method using bismuthene as a photocatalyst to produce porous semiconducting polymers without metal catalysts under ambient conditions. Porous ...

Mesoporous materials are a class of nanomaterials characterized by their highly ordered porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 2 to 50 nanometers. These materials possess large surface areas, ...

Soaking up pollutants like a sponge, porous organic polymers (POPs) may be the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to researchers. A group of researchers from Tohoku University ...

A new study has shown that spent coffee grounds, one of the world’s most familiar daily wastes, can be transformed into a high performance, biodegradable thermal insulation material with potential ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

From ultra-sensitive sensors to shape-shifting implants, stimuli-responsive smart materials react reversibly to heat, light, stress, or pH. They could transform devices and therapies once issues in ...
