Welcome to the Supramolecular Laboratory (SML), where our core research centers on the rational design of supramolecular assemblies for cutting-edge applications in energy and environmental sustainability. Our work focuses on developing highly organized porous structures tailored for two key areas.
Firstly, we are advancing metal-organic electrode materials for next-generation supercapacitors. By employing supramolecular design principles, we aim to create electrode materials with optimized structural properties to achieve high energy and power density, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of energy storage systems. Our research delves into the unique characteristics of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and other porous architectures to tailor their performance for superior supercapacitor functionality.
Additionally, we are at the forefront of developing advanced materials for CO2 capture, a critical component of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Through the rational design and synthesis of supramolecular adsorbents, we seek to achieve outstanding selectivity and capacity for CO2 capture from diverse emission sources. By working in this area, you will contribute to creating effective solutions for greenhouse gas mitigation, addressing the pressing challenges of climate change.
At SML, you will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on research, focusing on the synthesis, characterization, and performance testing of cutting-edge supramolecular assemblies. We foster a dynamic, collaborative environment that encourages innovation and the refinement of your scientific expertise. Joining us means contributing to the development of sustainable technologies that can shape the future of energy and environmental solutions.
