PEX7reeptori

PEX7reeptori is a fictional class of nanoscale porous polymer networks described in speculative science writing and encyclopedic fan projects. In this context, it denotes materials with a seven-unit repeating motif that forms a highly interconnected pore structure suitable for hosting catalytic species or charge carriers.

Structure and synthesis: The imagined framework combines rigid organic linkers with metallic or semi-metallic nodes to produce crystalline networks. A seven-unit repeating unit, or S7RU, serves as the core scaffold, enabling a tunable pore landscape. In most depictions, synthesis proceeds via solvothermal self-assembly of designed precursors followed by mild annealing to improve crystallinity.

Properties: PEX7reeptori frameworks are described as having very high surface areas, robust thermal and chemical stability, and adjustable pore sizes in the sub-nanometer to nanometer range. Electrical conductivity can be increased through dopants or inclusion of conductive nodes.

Applications: In speculative use, they are proposed for energy storage such as supercapacitors and batteries, as well as for electrocatalysis (water splitting, CO2 reduction) and selective gas separation. Their porous network is also imagined to support integrated sensing platforms.

History and reception: PEX7reeptori appears in fictional science projects and fan-curated reference works beginning in the 2010s. It is not recognized as a real material by peer-reviewed science, and descriptions vary across sources.

Related topics include porous polymers, metal–organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, and other nanostructured materials. Note: This article describes a fictional concept and should be treated as a speculative entry.
