Molecular metal oxides, or more notably polyoxometalates (POMs) are being researched for over a century. Their structure benefits from very high stability, whose inherent connectivity relies predominantly on metal-oxygen bonds. Theoretical insights into the bonding...
In a recent Science paper, PNNL researchers show that by judiciously designing fluorenone derivatives, the reoxidation of the reduced fluorenol can be achieved reversibly in an aqueous redox flow battery. The combined experimental and computational...
Conventional electronics are made up of bulk materials where the components of the system are carved out from bulk (top-down). Molecular electronics takes a different approach where electronic systems are built up atom by atom...
A molecular device, which is both mechanically and electronically stable under operating conditions at room temperature has recently been developed. In the report in Nature Nanotechnology, researchers from Switzerland, the Netherlands, the UK, and Israel...
Tetraphenylmethane tripod is a promising platform to support functional moieties considered for the fabrication of working elements in future molecular electronic devices. In this work, charge transport (conductance G) in molecular conductors supported by tetraphenylmethane...
Charge transport through single-molecule junctions is dominated by image charges. This is demonstrated and explained by a combined experimental and theoretical effort from Delft (Quantum Nanoscience and Chemical Engineering departments) and the Leiden Institute of...
