Emerging Investigators in Solid-State Inorganic Chemistry
This ACS Virtual Issue, “Emerging Investigators in Solid-State Inorganic Chemistry,” features recently published research papers from Inorganic Chemistry, Chemistry of Materials, and The Journal of the American Chemical Society to demonstrate the creativity, range, and areas of interest of selected up-and-coming researchers in this field who have started their independent laboratories in the past five to eight years.
The study of the synthesis, structure, and properties of solids has historically played a pivotal role in science and technology, spanning the disciplines of chemistry, physics, and engineering at universities, national laboratories, and in industry to help drive development of the electronic age and enable modern living. Seminal work in solid-state chemistry includes the synthesis of cuprate superconductors, the discovery of reversible intercalation chemistry of layered sulfides that led to rechargeable batteries, and the development of zeolite catalysts that enabled the growth of the petrochemical industry.
