Research Area:

  • Inorganic
  • Materials

Research:

Fluorous metal-organic frameworks (FMOFs) are designed and optimized for applications including hydrogen and hydrocarbon storage, mixture separation, thermal expansion, catalysis, oil spill containment, and water purification. Superior material stability, superhydrophobocity, and high volumetric capacity for various guest molecules have been attained by screened FMOFs.
