Network covalent solids In a network solid, there are no individual molecules. The atoms are covalently bonded in a continuous network, resulting in huge crystals.

In situ polymerization in a covalent organic framework boosts lithium-ion conduction in solid polymer electrolytes, advancing ...

By demonstrating the possibility of 2-D covalent solids, researchers now have more 'legos' in their playground to create novel materials with custom made properties.

Nanoscale electron transfer (ET) in solids is fundamental to the development of multifunctional materials. However, ET in solids is not yet clearly understood. Now, researchers achieved a direct ...

These trends, which are widely regarded as universal rules for metals 3 and covalent solids 4,5, are challenged by recently synthesized nanotwinned cubic boron nitride (nt-cBN) 6 that exhibits an ...

Isomerism can control and increase the diversity of structure of covalent organic frameworks, emerging nanoporous solids Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

Dynamic polymers are made of molecular networks with transient connections, which makes then visco-elastic, self-healing and potentially recyclable. While omnipresent in biology, their synthetic ...

The new covalent 2D material can also be controllably doped with dopants”. “We also demonstrate the scalability of our approach by chemical conversion of large-area, thin InSe films into InF 3 ...
