Crystals of synthetic compounds are typically composed of one kind of repeating structure and thus their functionality is limited to a great extent by their lack of complexity. Strategies for making crystals of materials that encompass structural heterogeneity without losing their overall crystalline order are largely absent. This is because the synthetic methods used to produce crystals rely on optimization of reaction conditions to give crystallized products with homogeneous structures, and when this is not possible, amorphous structures are produced. We believe that vast opportunities exist for developing synthetic methods which combine the optimization for crystal formation while being amenable to the introduction of heterogeneous structures within a crystal. This concept is widely used in natural systems but remains a challenge to introduce into synthetic crystals. This talk will show how to use the heterogeneity within metal-organic frameworks for energy storage and conversion. |
