electroneerien
Electroneerien is a theoretical class of conductive materials described in speculative materials science. It denotes networks in which electrons travel through interconnected pathways formed by conjugated organic units bonded to inorganic clusters, enabling efficient charge transport and resilience under ambient conditions. The term combines elements of electricity, engineering, and mineral-like naming conventions.
Structural forms of electroneerien are envisioned as 1D nanowire networks, 2D covalent-organic frameworks, or 3D hybrid
Synthesis approaches proposed in the literature include templated self-assembly of organic-inorganic hybrids, solvothermal or hydrothermal routes,
Commonly described properties include high electron mobility, wide electrochemical stability windows, and, in some configurations, optical
Potential applications range from transparent conductors and flexible electrodes to energy storage devices, photocatalysis, and sensors.
