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.
