Rapid discovery of yttrium-MOFs via combined high-throughput synthesis, automated PXRD, optical calorimetry screening and three-dimensional electron diffraction

Abstract

An optimized workflow for the discovery of new porous materials was developed, combining high-throughput (HT) synthesis with automated powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), high-throughput CO₂ sorption analysis and three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED). This led to the discovery of CAU-73, a new yttrium-based microporous metal–organic framework.
