We are delighted to announce the winners of the CrystEngComm Outstanding Paper Award, 2025
As selected by the Editorial Board, the winners of the CrystEngComm Outstanding Paper Award, 2025 are: Patrick Duchstein, Moritz Macht and Dirk Zahn for their work “On the pK of crystal surfaces: molecular modeling of crystallite protonation, local reorganization, and solute dissociation“. Congratulations to all the winners!
The authors demonstrate the application of the ‘instantaneous pK’ approach to the molecular dynamics simulation of crystallite models exposed to an acidic solvent environment.
The Outstanding Paper Award recognises the high-quality work published in CrystEngComm from the previous year, acknowledging the excellence of the paper as a whole and valuing the contributions of all the authors.
