Functional Materials for Environmental & Industrial Applications

We combine materials chemistry with separation technologies to design advanced functional porous materials, membranes, sorbents, and organic–inorganic hybrids for CO₂ capture, gas purification, water treatment, and other environmental and industrial applications.
