The atomic pair distribution function (PDF) technique is a powerful approach to gain
quantitative insight into the structure of materials where the structural coherence extends …

The correlation between structure and function lies at the heart of materials science and
engineering. Especially, modern functional materials usually contain inhomogeneities at an …

In contrast to monovalent lithium or sodium ions, the reversible insertion of multivalent ions
such as Mg2+ and Al3+ into electrode materials remains an elusive goal. Here, we …

PDFgetX3 is a new software application for converting X-ray powder diffraction data to an
atomic pair distribution function (PDF). PDFgetX3 has been designed for ease of use, speed …

We are currently witnessing the dawn of hydrogen (H2) economy, where H2 will soon
become a primary fuel for heating, transportation, and long-distance and long-term energy …

Here we present detailed structural evidence of captured molecular iodine (I2), a volatile
gaseous fission product, within the metal–organic framework ZIF-8 [zeolitic imidazolate …

The effective capture and storage of radiological iodine (129I) remains a strong concern for
safe nuclear waste storage and safe nuclear energy. Silver-containing mordenite (MOR) is a …

Operando pair distribution function (PDF) analysis and ex situ 23Na magic-angle spinning
solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS ssNMR) spectroscopy are used to gain insight …

Mg batteries are an attractive alternative to Li-based energy storage due to the possibility of
higher volumetric capacities with the added advantage of using sustainable materials. A …

The selective capture of radiological iodine (129 I) is a persistent concern for safe nuclear
energy. In nuclear fuel reprocessing scenarios, the gas streams to be treated are extremely …
