Metal Organic Frameworks

Selective Gas Adsorption and Separation:

Our research on Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) focuses on the separation of gas and small molecules, with a particular emphasis on CO₂ capture, flue gas separation, air separation, hydrogen storage, and small molecule separation applications. We primarily focus on synthesizing cost-effective MOFs using aqueous solution-based methods. By combining experimental techniques with theoretical modeling, our work aims to develop framework materials that deliver enhanced performance and meet the practical requirements of industrial applications.

Covalent Organic Frameworks

Catalysis: Enantioselective, Electrocatalysis, and Catalytic Organic Transformations:

Our research focuses on the design and synthesis of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) for catalytic, energy conversion, and environmental applications. We are particularly interested in developing COFs that are stable, efficient, and highly selective, enabling key industrial chemical processes such as multi-site coupling reactions, water oxidation, hydrogen evolution, and the selective separation of gases and solvents. We also design and graft chiral, amine-rich functionalities into porous frameworks to achieve high levels of enantioselectivity and catalytic performance. Additionally, our work delves into fundamental studies of COF properties and their practical uses, including self-cleaning technologies and oil-water separations. By combining innovative material design with real-world applications, we aim to drive sustainable advancements in energy and environmental technologies, fostering transformative solutions in these critical areas.
