Nanoporous Materials, Application of Solid-State NMR and Vibrational and Spectroscopy to Inorganic Framework Materials
Awards:
Current Research Programs:
Our research is directed towards the investigations of various porous materials including zeolites, AlPO4 based molecular sieves, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and mesoporous materials as well as pillared lamellar solids, layered metal phosphates and transition metal dichalcogenides. These materials have many current and potential applications in industry as ion exchangers, molecular sieves, catalysts, sensors, ceramics, semiconductors and energy storage materials. Current efforts emphasize vibrational and, in particular, solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Research Projects During the course of the projects students will be trained both in materials synthesis and in the theory and practice of a whole range of characterization techniques for materials science.
