Research Areas

Production of value-added chemicals from biomass

We also design both Lewis acid and Bronsted acid sites in MOF materials for biomass conversion. For example, the
preparation of MOF films for electrocatalytic formation
of FDCA from HMF.

New phase of MOF materials for materials processing

Due to the limitations of crystalline MOF powder, we develop the synthesis method and processing of MOFs for easily handling and practical use in the industrial.

MOF materials for optoelectronic devices

We design organic ligand of MOFs to enhance hole mobility in luminescent                 Zr-NBP, we use this material as dual emissive and hole-transporting layers in an OLED device.

MOF-based adsorbents for decontamination of toxic heavy metals

We design MOF materials and related composite polymers as adsorbents for heavy metal decontamination.
