CURRENT RESEARCH TOPICS
Synthesis of Inorganic Membranes and Sorbents
Inorganic membranes or sorbents without pores or with pores of sizes ranging
from a few angstroms to a few ten nonometers can find many applications in
various areas. Our research is focused on synthesis and characterization of
various types of inorganic membranes or sorbents with tailor-designed structure
by the liquid and vapor methods.
Novel Separation and Reaction Processes
Research in this area emphasizes development of new separation and chemical
reaction processes applying inorganic membranes and sorbents for gas separation
(e.g., oxygen/nitrogen, hydrogen/carbon oxides, hydrocarbon mixtures, flue gas)
and high temperature catalytic reactions (e.g., partial oxidation of methane,
hydrocarbon dehydrogenation, xylene isomerization, polymerization).
Flexible Biological Films Exploiting Selective Active Transport
The research is this area is to focus on producing inorganic supported
synthetic flexible films or membranes containing biological transport proteins
that can utilize energy for the selective uptake, concentration and release of
ions and molecules in an organized manner.
