Editor’s Collection: Non-classical crystallization processes!

We are delighted to share with you our latest Editor’s Collection on Non-classical crystallization processes.

This latest collection of recently published articles focusing on Non-classical crystallization processes has been handpicked by CrystEngComm Advisory Board Member, Associate Professor Franca Jones (Curtin University, Australia).

For many years the classical picture of nucleation and growth was accepted and successfully used to understand a variety of crystallization processes but more recently non-classical processes at either or both the nucleation or the growth stages have been hypothesized to better explain experimental observations. This Editor’s collection highlights recent contributions to CrystEngComm that are broadly focused on non-classical crystallization. The selection of articles showcases the wide range of systems where non-classical processes are observed, the broad range of possible non-classical mechanisms (from non-classical nucleation to oriented attachment) and the importance of these processes. It is clear that non-classical mechanisms are becoming the norm and understanding these mechanisms will be vital to all crystallization experts.

Editor’s Collection: Advances in nanocrystal heterojunctions!

We are delighted to share with you our latest Editor’s Collection on Advances in nanocrystal heterojunctions

This latest collection of recently published articles focusing on Advances in nanocrystal heterojunctions has been handpicked by CrystEngComm Advisory Board Member, Professor Georg Garnweitner (Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany).

The combination of different components at the nanoscale continues to be a prime strategy for the development of materials with enhanced performance in a broad range of application fields. Thereby, due to the alteration of band structures, heterojunctions offer particularly fascinating possibilities for the rational design of systems with tailored properties. This collection presents the most recent articles in the field of nanocrystal heterojunctions. Whilst most works focus on the synthesis of materials with superior properties for applications ranging from electro- and photocatalysis to gas sensing, electromagnetic shielding and spin valves, also mechanistic studies aiming for an enhanced understanding of heterojunction properties as well as theoretical works on the properties of heterojunction materials are included. Thus, the collection demonstrates the richness, diversity and great potential of this research field.

Editor’s Collection: Rare Earth Materials

CrystEngComm

We are delighted to share with you our latest collection of recently published articles focusing on Rare Earth Materials handpicked by Associate Editor, Dongfeng Xue, Multiscale Crystal Materials Research Center, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, CAS, China

Rare earth materials play a key role in many practical applications such as catalysts, lasers, luminescence, magnetism, and sensors, which are of great interest to the community. Crystallisation involves two continuous stages (including nucleation and crystal growth) when preparing rare earth materials, therefore, crystal engineering strategies may stimulate much more innovative ideas when using rare earth elements as powerful functional sources or modifiers in the scale of the whole system. Rare earth elements have f-orbitals and f-electrons that possess specific coordination abilities with a wide range of coordination numbers from 2 to 16, which provide many opportunities to create novel structures and functions.

These articles are all free to access until January 31st, 2022 and we hope you enjoy reading them.

We also invite you to submit your research to CrystEngComm to give your work the global visibility it deserves.
