ChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Research seminar series
This talk will be about the chemistry of constructing new metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks from molecular building blocks, and their applications in clean energy (carbon dioxide capture and conversion to fuels). MOFs capable of harvesting water from low humidity desert air will also be described and their water uptake properties presented including a MOF device tested in the laboratory and Arizona desert.
The seminar can also be followed remotely by joining the online Cisco WebEx meeting (connection possible 15 minutes before the talk).
