DESCRIPTION:Dr. Camille PETIT\nDepartment of Chemical Engineering\,\nBarre
 r Centre\, Imperial College London\nChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Researc
 h seminar series\nAccess to clean water along with sustainable energy and 
 the protection of the environment are probably the greatest challenges of 
 our society but also a unique opportunity to reshape our technology landsc
 ape. Major molecular separation issues underpin these areas. Take for inst
 ance CO2 capture: here\, one wishes to separate CO2 from other flue gas (o
 r ambient air) components. Notably\, existing separation processes account
  for 10 to 15% of the world energy consumption. Researchers must propose t
 ransformative approaches to molecular separations possibly exploiting the 
 increasing complexity and sophistication of materials available to perform
  such separations.\nThis seminar will provide an overview of our research 
 – past and current – in that direction. I will discuss selected exampl
 es of our work on the design\, synthesis\, characterisation and testing of
  porous materials (i.e. sorbents) to address separation challenges related
  to environmental\, water and energy sustainability. I will focus specific
 ally on our study of metal-organic frameworks and porous boron nitride for
  applications in carbon management and solar energy conversion. I will des
 cribe how our approach to material design\, which combines aspects of chem
 istry\, materials science and chemical engineering\, enables us to identif
 y key materials structure-property relationships while also accelerating t
 he identification of the ‘best’ material for a given application.
