SUMMARY:Shiao-Hung Chiang Distinguished Seminar Featuring Dr. Mircea Dincă
 \, Princeton University
LOCATION:Benedum Hall 102\, 3700 O'Hara Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15261
DESCRIPTION:From Electrically Conductive MOFs to Sustainable Batteries\n\n
 Abstract: The emergence of electrically conductive metal-organic framewor
 ks (c-MOFs) has been one of the most paradoxical developments in the fiel
 d in the last few years. Indeed\, how can one transport charges through a
  material that is mostly “empty” space? In this sense\, MOFs made from la
 yers of organic ligands connected by (typically) square-planar metal ions
  have shown particularly good electrical conductivity. However\, a precis
 e mechanism for charge transport is still the subject of debate\, with va
 rious experimental and computational reports describing these materials a
 s metals\, semiconductors\, or semimetals. This lecture will describe the
  latest efforts from our group to understand the intrinsic properties of 
 2D c-MOFs\, especially as related to single-crystal electrical measuremen
 t studies and will discuss in particular the unexpectedly large influence
  of out-of-plane transport. The seminar will also discuss how these funda
 mental studies have led directly to the discovery of a sustainable\, orga
 nic cathode material that is competitive with incumbent oxides in Li-ion 
 and Na-ion rechargeable batteries.\n\nShort Bio Sketch: Mircea Dincă is t
 he Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University.
  He grew up in Romania and moved to the United States to pursue his Bache
 lor’s degree in Chemistry at Princeton University. Graduate studies in In
 organic Chemistry at UC Berkeley were followed by a postdoctora\n\nhttp:/
