Staggered structural dynamic-mediated selective adsorption of H2O/D2O on flexible graphene oxide nanosheets - Nature Communications

Graphene oxide is a promising material for molecular separation technologies. Here, the authors propose a realistic staggered stacking structure that plays a crucial role in H/D recognition in water adsorption, as well as high mobilities of water.

Prediction of Diffusion Coefficient Through Machine Learning Based on Transition State Theory Descriptors

Nanoporous materials serve as very effective media for storing or separating small molecules. To design the best materials for a given application based on adsorption, one usually assesses the equilibrium performance by using key thermodynamic quantities such as Henry constants or adsorption loading values. To go beyond standard methodologies, we probe here the transport effects occurring in the material by studying the self-diffusion coefficients of xenon inside the nanopores of framework materials. We find good correlations between the diffusion coefficients and the pore aperture size, as well as other geometrical and energetic descriptors. We used extensive molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the diffusion coefficient of xenon in 4,873 MOFs from the CoREMOF 2019 database, the first large-scale database of transport properties published at this scale. Based on this data, we present a tool to quickly evaluate the diffusion energy barrier that proved to be very correlated to the diffusion rate. This descriptor, alongside other geometrical characterizations, were then used to build a machine learning model that can predict the xenon diffusion coefficients in MOFs. The final trained model is quite accurate and shows a root mean square error (RMSE) on the log_{10} of the diffusion coefficient equal to 0.25.
