Using a dataset of over 350 million molecule pairs with electronic structure, redox, and optical properties (more than 16 billion data points!), we systematically evaluate the correlation between several molecular fingerprint generators, distance functions, and these properties.

Another great paper from @zan_paterson - showing that a combination of deoxygenation and her favourite dopant C60F48, dramatically improves the stability in p-type mixed conductors. A must read!!

We had the pleasure visiting our colleagues at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at #ORNL. Lots of mutual interest on nanostructured polymers, organic electronics, AI/ML/simulations, dielectric materials, 2D/quantum materials, and hyphenated characterizations.

There is still a postdoctoral opening related to this project. Applicants with expertise in programming and machine learning interatomic potentials can send me a CV and motivational letter.
This week’s Bama Research Spotlight is on Prof. Tibor Szilvási. Tibor works on a Department of Energy funded project for understanding the effect of interfacial ions in electrocatalysis.
