About

Our research primarily focuses on the application of advanced nanoporous materials (such as 3D metal-organic frameworks, zeolites and nanostructured carbons) to important challenges in sustainable energies and environmental technologies. Our work spans numerous projects, from exploring new materials-based strategies for hydrogen storage, carbon dioxide capture and sequestration, to the development of sustainable catalysts for environmental remediation.

Our group combines materials design and synthesis, structural characterisation and properties testing of materials to uncover how the fundamental structure of a material influences its properties. This enables smarter design of materials for a range of practical applications in sustainability.
