Last month was quite fruitful in case of exchanging ideas: I gave a seminar at Charles Sadron Institute to connect with @stelorg.bsky.social consortium and later i gave a talk at German Zeolite Conference #DZT2026 to disseminate our findings from MacroPiN funded by #MSCA @ec.europa.eu

We are pleased to welcome @Hakan Bildirir for his seminar on "On-target Syntheses of Porous Polymers for Various Energy and Environmental Applications" (6th February - 11 am- Amphitheatre of ICS) and a tour of STELORG's lab. www.ics-cnrs.unistra.fr/event-279-On...

Structure–property relationship in phenothiazine-based hypercrosslinked organic electrode materials through porosity adjustment A series of phenothiazine-based hypercrosslinked p-type porous polymers were synthesized via a knitting polymerization method, incorporating increasing amounts of benzene as a co-monomer for a systema...

Finally out! Our recent work on organic #batteries found its place in @jmaterchem.rsc.org A

We investigated the effect of crosslinking/surface area to the electrochemical energy storage performances. #openaccess #chemsky

I finally started my new position as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at IS2M @cnrs.fr in Mulhouse. I am -professionally- quite excited for the future developments during the course of the project, and also -personally- moved by adding France to my "list of residencies" in Europe : ) #chemsky

Retrospective Review on Reticular Materials: Facts and Figures Over the Last 30 Years To shape the future course of research in reticular materials, this work reflects on the progress over the past 30 years, complemented by input from the community of 228 active researchers through a ....

Very exciting to see our "Retrospective Review on Reticular Materials" online, packing lots of interesting stats to understand how far the field has come, and to envision its even brighter future! #MOFs #COFs privileged to have worked with such a fantastic team 🌟

Thank you very much!

Thanks Kasper!!

As the European Commission just opened this year's call, it seems a good opportunity to announce that I will be moving to France to join @cnrs.fr IS2M Mulhouse in September thanks to the funding from last year's Marie Skłodowska-Curie PF call #MSCA #chemsky

Well, as we all know, the numbers are important to get funding.
And, the post helps to increase their "article views" number. Next time better put a screenshot 😄

2024 Journal of Materials Chemistry C outstanding peer reviewers We are celebrating some of the individuals making significant contributions to the chemical sciences through peer review.

I am glad to be named as an outstanding reviewer by @jmaterchem.rsc.org C. I try to contribute as much as possible to the peer-review system, and it is very enjoyable when I do it for high-quality journals such as the ones from @rsc.org #chemsky
Here is the full list www.rsc.org/journals-boo...

Dyna Robotics has a new robot foundation, and it's something else. 99.4% success rate on 24 hours of napkin folding with no interventions. Not a flashy task, but that's what real, useful robotics has to look like

PS. The street lights near our flat, which were just powered before the buildings, gave me the heads-up for the video.

On 28.04, there was almost a 10-hour #power #outage in #Spain and neighboring countries. It reminded us how #electricity is essential for our daily lives. As a scientist working on energy related topics, it was an additional motivation. Here's the video I shot just before the power came back

We are delighted that the Interest Group is offering bursaries to early career researchers to attend the UK Porous Materials Conference in Birmingham.

Further information and to apply, please see our website: www.ukpormat.com/bursaries

Deadline for bursary applications is Tuesday 15th May.

Last week, I attended #MatSUS25 spring conference in Sevilla.
I presented a poster on Tuesday for #SusOrg and gave a talk on Wednesday for #SusBatT symposiums.
It was a great experience with an intense schedule (overlapped with #RSCposter), and also was nice to catch up with old colleagues/friends

My colleague, Nagaraj Patil from IMDEA Energia is giving insights on Aqueous Zinc-based energy storage systems #MatSus25 spring
We are on the same symposium #SusBatT and my talk is at 12:30 which is about organic electrode materials, stop by if you are around #chemsky

The @rsc.org Journal of Materials Chemistry is now on Bluesky, @jmaterchem.rsc.org great place for reading and publishing your favourite materials chemistry research :-)

please share and follow!!

Aside from the electrochemical energy storage, i will also present our latest results on n-doping of porous polymers and its effects on photocurrents in another symposium at #MatSus2025 see this article:
