This week we highlight the inclusion of data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Materials Database. This is a computational database that focuses predominantly on materials with applications in renewable energy, such as as photovoltaic materials, materials for photoelectrochemical water splitting and thermoelectrics. This data set contains over 38,000 data points including thermochemical properties and […]
This week we highlight the semiconductor data from the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute’s electronic archive for new semiconductor materials – characteristics and properties. This dataset includes basic parameters and band structure data as well as electrical, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties for a number of known semiconductors such as Si, GaN, and InP.
This week’s update to Citrination added quite a few new features. We added an autocomplete list to our data point search, seeded with common properties found in our database. In addition, we added user profile pages linked in search results, so you can learn who contributed your favorite datasets. You can now flag a dataset […]
Today is an exciting day for humanity for many reasons. The COP21 talks begin in Paris, with many countries to commit to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. Sadly, though, a growing global population and hunger for energy is going to make living sustainably on our planet very difficult without new technologies that can allow us […]
The Citrine Team is dedicated to creating a data infrastructure and community that together make all materials data more accessible and useful than ever before, and today we have some exciting news to share: Citrination, the data platform for the physical world, now houses over 3,000,000 data points! We continue to work towards creating the most […]
This week we have added over 175,000 new data points from Materials Project to our platform. This dataset contains the calculated density of states (DOS) for around 20,000 materials. Plots have been generated for the complete DOS as well as for partial DOS projected on sites and orbitals. This data set also includes the calculated […]
We are very excited to announce that Citrination now hosts data from JCAP, the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis! JCAP was established in 2010 as a Department of Energy, Energy Innovation Hub, and is the largest research program dedicated to the development of an artificial solar-fuel generation technology. They aim to produce fuels using only […]
In this update, we added the ability to leave comments on data points – ask questions or start a discussion about interesting data. We improved our document search workflow, making it easier to find data nested in uploaded documents like PDFs and Microsoft Word files. We’ve also made more parts of our API public. You […]
Many thanks to Tolutola Oyetunde for contributing his Alkane Activation Database. Tolutola Oyetunde is a doctoral student in the Computational Activated Materials Laboratory in the department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering at Washington University in San Louis. His research group, led by Professor Cynthia Lo, are focusing on developing catalysts for C1 chemistry. This Alkane […]
This week we highlight a database of piezoelectric properties, published by researchers at UC-Berkeley and LBNL. Piezoelectric materials allow coupling of electrical fields and mechanical strain. This occurs when the crystal lattice is disturbed, causing a charge imbalance which results in a voltage across the material. Piezoelectrics are used in a number of applications in […]
