Rondinelli was recognized by the Editorial Board of the Journal of Materials Chemistry C as “carrying out work with the potential to influence future directions in materials chemistry,” in the fields of materials for optical, magnetic, and electronic devices.

The themed issue titled Novel Design Strategies for New Functional Materials includes work from materials chemists in the early stages of their independent career, with a special focus on novel design strategies for new functional materials.

Rondinelli with co-authors Young and Lalkiya contributed the article titled Design of noncentrosymmetric perovskites from centric and acentric basic building units, which focuses on the assembly and stability of perovskites with broken inversion symmetry. These materials can host a variety of acentric properties, including piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, and nonlinear optical effects such as second harmonic generation.
