Studies of Reactive Amorphous Compounds and Surfaces: Their Pathways to Crystallinity and Surface Functionality
This project was originally headed by Dr. Abraham Clearfield (Texas A&M University, ret.) and focused on developing structural models of zirconium phosphate (ZrP) based materials at different stages of crystalline order using PDF techniques developed by co-PI Dr. Simon Billinge (Columbia University). When Dr. Clearfield retired, the project was taken over by Dr. Hong-Cai Zhou (Texas A&M University). The project proposed looking at defective metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) supported on the surface of the ZrP materials. During the project, the personnel conducted studies of the dispersion of different phosphate ligands in mixed organic phosphonates, and how they could be utilized to incorporate different metals within the ZrP interlayer spacing.
