[Paper] J. Am. Chem. Soc.
The collaboration paper with the Yamauchi group about thermal conversion of coreshell MOFs into microporous carbon materials is just published in J. Am. Chem. Soc. Congratulations!!
[Paper] Chem. Commun.
The collaboration paper with the Kanamori-Nakanishi group at the Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, is accepted for publication in Chem. Commun. We have successfully replicated copper hydroxide monolith to a copper MOF by coordination replication, with retaining the mechanical stability. Congratulations!
Peter Swekis left the group
Mr. Peter Swekis from the group of Prof. Bettina Lotsch in University of Munich (LMU) finished the internship at the MC2 group. Good luck, Peter!!!
Arnau Carné-Sánchez joins the group
Dr. Aranu Carné-Sánchez from Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (the Maspoch group) joined the MC2 group as a JSPS postdoctoral fellow. Welcome, Arnau!!
