Jing Li Lab - Research

 

Our research interests and activities are primarily in the development of solid-state inorganic and inorganic-organic hybrid materials that are both fundamentally important and practically relevant. Our current work focuses mainly on the design, synthesis, characterization, functionalization, and optimization of three material families that possess interesting and unique properties potentially useful for clean and renewable energy applications, including but not limited to photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, thermoelectrics, gas storage, capture and separation, catalysis and chemical sensing. We employ both experimental and theoretical methods to investigate and understand the structure-property correlations in these systems, as well as the organic-inorganic interface interactions at the atomic and molecular level.

Research Topic #1

METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORKS AND COORDINATION POLYMERS

  • Gas storage, capture and separation (e.g. CO2 capture and hydrocarbon separation)
  • Luminescence-based sensing and detection of hazadous and toxic chemical species in vapor and solution phase (e.g. explosives and VOCs)
  • Rare-earth-element (REE) free phosphors for energy-efficient lighting (e.g. LEDs and WLEDs)

 

Research Topic #2

 INORGANIC-ORGANIC HYBRID SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS

  • I-VII based crystalline hybrid materials
  • II-VI based crystalline hybrid materials
  • III-VI based crystalline hybrid materials
  • V-VI based crystalline hybrid materials
  • VI-VI based crystalline hybrid materials
  • Perovskite based crystalline hybrid materials

 

Research Topic #3

OTHER SOLID STATE INORGANIC MATERIALS

  • Metal chalcogenides
