Research Interests | ![]() |
Metal-organic frameworks are known to have excellent structural regularity and tunability at a molecular level. Meanwhile, being able to control their structures at a mesoscopic level can also greatly change their physical and chemical properties. Li group studies the interface between nanoporous materials and polymeric materials and further uses this information as a foundation to explore and create new nanoporous composite materials for biomedical and energy applications. |
