The institute focuses on computer-aided screening and design of porous framework materials, controlled chemical preparation and material molding, and application performance testing and characterization, and is dedicated to the cutting-edge basic research on porous framework materials, as well as the demonstration of industrial applications of related results in chemical separation processes with significant application background. We have developed systematic research results in the dynamic behavior of the skeleton of porous framework materials, molecular synergistic transfer in composite framework materials, spatial design and defect modulation of framework materials, etc., and are carrying out all-element, all-materials applied basic research for the most analytically challenging chemical separation processes. The main research directions are:
(1) Chemical materials field: ethylene/ethane, propylene/propane, ethylene/acetylene, n-isomerized alkanes, xylene isomers, etc;
(2) Environmental health field: greenhouse gas capture, VOCs capture, purification of water pollutants, pharmaceutical intermediates, etc;
(3) Future energy field: Kr/Xe separation, deuterium-tritium separation, etc.
