The Hoffmann Institute of Advanced Materials (HIAM) is a science research institute affiliated to Shenzhen Polytechnic in Shenzhen, China.[1] As the eighth institute at Shenzhen named after a Nobel laureate, it was founded in February 2018[2] under the tutelage of the theoretical chemist Roald Hoffmann.[3] The institute was officially opened with a formal ceremony in May 2019.[4][5][6][7]

Its research topics cover novel functional materials, with an emphasis on their properties and applications in new energy and renewable energy fields. The institute's key research areas are photo-electric materials, energy-storage materials, and energy-efficient materials. The institute consists of three departments: a computational laboratory, a materials research laboratory, and a device commercialization laboratory.

The institute holds strong ties with other international laboratories dealing with energy-related research, including those from Kyoto and Osaka (Japan), Aachen and Düsseldorf (Germany), NIST (U.S.), and Skoltech (Russia).[8] Likewise, the institute collaborates in regard to the chemistry, physics, and materials science of complex mixed-anion inorganic compounds with universities and research institutions in Kyoto (Japan), Oxford (UK), Antwerp (Belgium), and Bordeaux (France).[9]

Advisory board

[edit]

The institute is supported by a high-level advisory board, which currently includes Lin Jianhua, Francis J. DiSalvo, Galen Stucky, Maochun Hong, Xiaoming Chen, Robert Cava, and Markus Antonietti.

Research accomplishments

[edit]

Recent characteristic research with the institute as first affiliation[10] has been dealing with the encapsulation of multiple dyes into nanocrystalline metal-organic frameworks for energy-efficient lighting devices,[11] the clarification of the real-time formation mechanism of quantum wells for stable and efficient perovskite photovoltaics,[12] the encapsulation of a porous organic cage into the pores of a metal-organic framework for enhanced CO2 separation,[13] the design of metal-organic frameworks for alkane separation[14] and adsorption of noble gases such as xenon,[15] the synthesis of a chemically stable cucurbit[6]uril-based hydrogen-bonded organic framework for SO2/CO2 separation,[16] the first-principles prediction of nitrogen-based transition-metal guanidinates TCN3 and ortho-nitrido carbonates T2CN4 for photoelectrochemistry,[17] the mechanochemical one-pot fabrication of a monolithic cucurbituril−encapsulating metal−organic framework from a flowing gel,[18] and the prediction of BeCN2 as the lightest representative of II–IV–V2 compounds.[19]

By the end of 2021, the institute had published several key papers in outstanding international journals such as the Journal of the American Chemical Society.[20] Based on this achievement, the Shenzhen Polytechnic already made it into the top 200 Chinese institutions within Nature's publication index.[21]
