The PMEAL is a research lab in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan. The lab was founded in 2017 with a focus on understanding the porous materials and the applications to renewable energy, such as hydrogen storage, gas separation, catalysis, etc.
國立交通大學材料系-多孔材料與能源實驗室，於2017年成立，研究著重於多孔材料在再生能源上的應用，如氫能儲存、光觸媒產氫、觸媒、氣體分離…等。
RESEARCH
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs, 金屬有機骨架) are materials with high specific surface area, regular porosity and crystallinity, facile modification capability, etc., which make MOF a promising material for hydrogen storage, gas separation, and catalysis.
PMEAL seeks to acquire a detailed understanding of MOFs to the following research applications. Have a look at some of our projects below.
HYDROGEN STORAGE
HYDROGEN GENERATION
(PHOTO)CATALYSIS
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE
Cryogenic environment may be necessary for MOF as a sorbent for hydrogen adsorption due to weak hydrogen affinity. Spillover effect can be applied to enhance heat of adsorption, and further room temperature hydrogen storage.
As MOFs are microporous materials, hydrides can be nanoconfined for improved dehydrogenation temperatures, kinetics, byproduct suppression, etc.
MOFs can support nanoparticles for catalytic reactions. In addition, due to metal cluster and organic ligand connection, MOFs possess band gap and can be applied for photocatalysis.
In order to separate gas like carbon dioxide, microporous materials like MOFs with certain modification (in this case, metal oxide incorporation) can be applied.
