Research

Our Laboratory specializes in developing sustainable carbon dioxide adsorbents to mitigate climate change. We focus on creating selective and regenerable CO2 capture systems using advanced materials science technology. Key materials include graphene oxide, metal-organic-framework, and graphitic carbon nitride. Our research aim is to enhance CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity, improve adsorbent renderability for energy-efficient solution potential.

Our research focuses on developing functional materials for the selective and efficient removal of heavy metals and radioactive waste ions from water. We are exploring metal-chalcogen aerogels and porous graphene oxide fibers for this study. We aim to enhance the selectivity and efficiency of these materials in aqueous environments by exploiting polarizable surface of metal-chalcogenide and ion-exchangeable alkali metal intercalation structure.

Our lab focuses on developing advanced materials for the efficient control of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and other atmospheric pollutants. This topic is based on noble metal nanoparticle catalysts supported on defect-engineered oxides or MXene-based heterostructures. The main objective is to control the defect structures within these oxide to enhance electron transport ability, VOCs adsorption selectivity, and catalytic efficiency and sustainability.
