Upcoming Seminar
Nanospace within Metal-Organic Frameworks: Plenty of Room for Imagination
Dr. Shengqian Ma, University of North Texas
September 27, 2023
4:00pm in HSCI-103

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a new class of materials, and one of their striking features lies in the tunable, designable, and functionalizable nanospace. The nanospace within MOFs provides virtually plenty of room for imagination, allowing designed incorporation of different functionalities for targeted applications, such as gas storage/separation, sensing, drug delivery, catalysis. This seminar will illustrate different approaches to engineer the nanospace of MOFs thereby affording MOFs as a versatile platform for applications in biocatalysis and heterogeneous catalysis.

Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 4:00pm. All are invited to attend.
