Abstract:
Advanced porous materials as represented by metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and porous organic polymers (POPs) represent a new class of materials, and one of their striking features lies in the tunable, designable, and functionalizable nanospace, which allows designed incorporation of different functionalities for targeted applications, such as gas storage/separation, sensing, drug delivery, catalysis, conductivity. This seminar will present how MOFs and POPs can be task-specifically designed and functionalized for applications in heterogeneous catalysis, gas separation, and contaminant removal.
