Pore-geometry recognition: on the importance of quantifying similarity in nanoporous materials
@article{Lee2017PoregeometryRO, title={Pore-geometry recognition: on the importance of quantifying similarity in nanoporous materials}, author={Yongjin Lee and Senja Barthel and Pawel Dlotko and Seyed Mohamad Moosavi and Kathryn Hess and Berend Smit}, journal={arXiv: Materials Science}, year={2017} }
In most applications of nanoporous materials the pore structure is as important as the chemical composition as a determinant of performance. For example, one can alter performance in applications like carbon capture or methane storage by orders of magnitude by only modifying the pore structure (1,2). For these applications it is therefore important to identify the optimal pore geometry and use this information to find similar materials. However, the mathematical language and tools to identify…
