Porous polymer networks (PPNs) and porous graphitic carbons (PGC)

Porous polymer networks (PPNs) and porous graphitic carbons (PGC) are special classes of porous materials that are developed from readily available monomers. Through rational design, their pore sizes can be precisely engineered to meet specific applications such as gas capture and separation, catalysis, drug delivery, lithium recovery, critical mineral recovery, and more. Our PPNs and PGC research subgroup involves the fabrication/synthesis of advanced and robust PPNs and PGC for environmental and energy sustainability.
