Research Interest:

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs), Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) and Porous Carbons

MOFs have been synthesized by the construction of metal ions or clusters connected by organic linkers, COFs consisting of purely covalent linkage of organic moieties are relatively new classes of porous crystalline materials. Both MOF and COFs have large surface areas and pore volumes. Our current research interest focuses on synthesizing these framework and investigate their fundamental properties and their applications in energy (eg, storage of H2, CH4, fuel cell operations), Environmental (pollutant gas removal from air) separation (eg, carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), chiral/achiral separation etc), photo catalysis and Water splitting areas. Strong interest on the mechanical behavior and studies of MOF single crystals. Also we have interest on to do research on MOF/COF derived porous carbons and their applications in electrocatalysis in fuel cells. Some schematic highlights are given bellow of our recent works.
