Title of the PhD project:
Study of porous materials for gas separation and storage by solid-state NMR
Abstract of the PhD project:
Porous materials represent a wide class of materials that can find application in many different fields of applied science and engineering, such as construction materials, catalysis, ion exchange, drug release and sensing. They have raised a lot of interest as adsorption, separation, and purification systems for green applications, such as environmental pollution and energy storage.
To better understand the final adsorption and purification properties of these materials, structural and dynamic characterization at the molecular and supramolecular level is fundamental.
The aim of this project is to study the structure and the dynamics of innovative porous materials for gas separation and storage, both in the presence and in the absence of guest molecules, by means of solid-state NMR. High-resolution and low-resolution experiments will be performed in order to study structural and dynamic properties of both hosts and guests, as well as the presence of host-guest interactions.
