Energy, catalysis and the environment are pressing issues with important social and economic consequences. Our group is investigating applications of porous MOFs, COFs and MOPs, and their composites with other nanomaterials, to create advanced sorbents and catalysts useful for storing energy, improving industrial processes and protecting our planet.
