Framework materials for efficient harvest, conversion and transport of solar and electrochemical energy

Fernando J. Uribe-Romo (Department of Chemistry, University of Central Florida)

The ability to design and impose molecular traits for specific properties in inorganic solid-state materials is one of the many challenges in materials science. In our research, we focus our efforts in the design of organic and inorganic molecular components with known solution-state properties to be incorporated in solid-state materials in the form of metal-organic and covalent-organic frameworks (MOFs and COFs, respectively). These molecular components provide the frameworks the ability to perform processes relevant to efficient use of energy such as visible light photocatalysis; ionic and electronic charge storage and transport. This seminar will describe the approaches followed in our research group to design and prepare advanced titanium-based MOF photocatalysts for the synthesis of complex organic molecules and reduction of carbon dioxide; and crystallographically aligned COF-based materials for electrochemical applications, specifically as solid-state lithium battery electrolytes.
