DESCRIPTION:Manipulating Phase Transitions and Porosity: \n\nFrom Solid Ref
 rigerants to Microporous Water\n\nAbstract: Materials that undergo phase t
 ransitions in response to specific stimuli and that contain pores tailored
  to interact with specific guest molecules offer unique opportunities for 
 addressing many important global challenges. Here\, I will describe two re
 cent examples of how phase-change materials and microporous materials can 
 be leveraged for a range of energy and biomedical applications\, including
  sustainable heat pumps\, electrocatalysis\, organ preservation\, bioreact
 ors\, and in vivo gas delivery. First\, I will discuss how hydrocarbon ord
 er–disorder phase transitions in layered organic and metal–organic mat
 erials can be manipulated to drive large barocaloric effects—thermal cha
 nges induced by hydrostatic pressure—in a new class of solid refrigerant
 s. Second\, I will describe a new approach to transporting gas molecules i
 n aqueous solutions that overcomes limitations associated with the low sol
 ubility of nearly all gases in water. Specifically\, I will show how aqueo
 us solutions of microporous nanocrystals can be designed with low viscosit
 ies\, long-term colloidal stability\, and micropores that remain permanent
 ly dry even when surrounded by liquid water. This allows high densities of
  gas molecules\, including oxygen\, to be stored and released within aqueo
 us environments.
