Our group primarily focuses on advancing porous materials, specifically Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), targeting energy applications. MOFs are distinguished by their adjustable geometry and functionality, making them versatile for such uses. We are interested in designing MOFs with specific active and supporting sites for targeted functions. Our strategies include creating pathway for better electric conductivity, adding functional groups to ligand for improved ionic conductivity, modifying MOFs for forming active sites, and constructing discrete pore system for maximizing pore utility. We hope to uncover materials with novel properties that could revolutionize for energy and environmental application like Li-air battery, electrocatalysts, and direct air capture(DAC).
