Research Interest

Molecular separation is pivotal to energy and environmental technologies. Key examples include H₂ and CH₄ purification, CO₂ capture, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal, CO removal for fuel cells, flue gas purification, and desulfurization of natural gas and transport fuels. In the chemical industry, molecular separation is a critical unit operation, contributing to more than 60% of the total cost in certain processes.

Our research focuses on investigating and understanding the fundamental physical chemistry of gas adsorption and diffusion to enable highly selective adsorption of targeted components in given gas mixtures. We employ integrated experimental and computational approaches to rationally design and develop “active” porous materials for gas separation and storage in energy and environmental applications. Advanced experimental techniques include multicomponent breakthrough studies, in situ synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, neutron powder diffraction, and in situ FTIR/DRIFTS for probing adsorption processes. On the computational side, we employ ab initio density functional theory (DFT) and force field-based molecular simulations.

We are particularly interested in stimuli-responsive porous adsorbents that enable controlled and selective guest admission through “smart” pore apertures. Stimuli under investigation include guest molecules, temperature, pressure, light, and electric fields. Targeted applications of interest include:

• CO₂ capture (including direct air capture or DAC)
• low temperature NO_x removal
• natural gas/biogas/landfill gas purification
• VOCs (volatile organic compounds) removal
• NH₃ removal
• paraffin/olefin separation
• noble gas separation
• gas storage
• adsorptive gas separation
• adsorption-enhanced (photo)catalytic conversion
• porous materials
