Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP150104620

Funded Activity Summary

Advanced Dynamic Function in Metal-Organic Framework Materials. This project targets the strategic incorporation of three important high-order functionalities into metal-organic framework materials. These are nanoporosity, that is the reversible inclusion of molecules and ions; anomalous mechanical response to changes in temperature, pressure and included guests; and electronic/magnetic function, specifically electron transfer and magnetic alignment. Examination of the unique interplay between these properties will address key questions in the science of nanoscale systems and may lead to the discovery of exciting new emergent phenomena. This will underpin the development of advanced new technologies, spanning gas separations, rechargeable batteries, high precision componentry and molecular electronic devices.
