- First successful demonstration of synthesizing a PEDOT conductive polymer network in the pores of a metal-organic framework (MOF), which we can also remove to yield polymer lattices with the unprecedented ordering of MOFs. This international collaboration, supported by an ERC Starting grant, explored polymer reactions in tight confinement (1 nm pores) testing the limits of molecular diffusion and molecular orientation. It has been highlighted in an updated roadmap for electronic integration of MOFs (DOI:10.1039/C7CS00122C) as a surprising way to achieve conductivity in MOF composites. First author obtained his PhD and is now faculty in the prestigious Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
