Research: Metal-organic frameworks as energy conversion materials.
A key challenge to address current energy requirements is large-scale efficient conversion of solar energy to electricity while processing the greenhouse gas CO2 into useful fuels. My research employs MOFs as a high-potential compound class to study the entrapment of artificial molecular photosystems toward providing catalyst stabilization and understanding host-guest chemistry. Insights will be used for scaffold and photosystem tailoring toward efficient solar fuel synthesis.
