Design and synthesize novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and carbon-based composites; investigate their applications in hydrogen and natural gas storage; explore applications as active electrode materials and membranes in lithium-ion battery, sodium-ion battery, metal-air battery and fuel cells.

Design and prepare functional MOFs for gas adsorption, separation and capture of harmful gases.

Embark on the heterogeneous catalytic properties of novel MOFs and explore their recyclability.
