A critical review of porous adsorbents for air separation: From fundamental insights to rational adsorbent design

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Air separation via selective adsorption using porous adsorbents offers energy‐efficient alternatives to cryogenic distillation for producing high‐purity O2 and N2. Adsorbent efficacy depends on balancing selectivity, durability, and performance consistency across varying conditions. This comprehensive review critically discusses the design and

Interpretable Machine Learning for Solvent‐Dependent Carrier Mobility in Solution‐Processed Organic Thin Films

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This work establishes a correlation between solvent properties and the charge transport performance of solution‐processed organic thin films through interpretable machine learning. Strong dispersion interactions (δD), moderate hydrogen bonding (δH), closely matching and compatible with the solute (quadruple thiophene), and a small molar volume (MolVol)

Topology‐Aware Machine Learning for High‐Throughput Screening of MOFs in C8 Aromatic Separation

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
We screened 15,335 Computation‐Ready, Experimental Metal–Organic Frameworks (CoRE‐MOFs) using a topology‐aware machine learning (ML) model that integrates structural, chemical, pore‐size, and topological descriptors. Top‐performing MOFs exhibit aromatic‐enriched cavities and open metal sites that enable π–π and C–H···π interactions, serving as ...

A Mechanochemical Kolbe–Schmitt Reaction: Catechol Carboxylation Provides Building Blocks for Renewable Plasticizers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A mechanochemical Kolbe–Schmitt reaction of disodium catecholate enables the synthesis of mono‐ and dicarboxylated catechols at low temperature and CO2 pressure. Directly derivatizing the resulting carboxylic acid and phenolic moieties in the obtained mixture provides plasticizer blends with efficiencies competitive to commercial benchmarks.
