Charge-Controlled Materials for Separations of Important Resources

该项目旨在开发新的多孔材料，这种材料能够比目前的技术具有更大的分子识别能力。该项目预计将促进对这些材料中基本结构-活性关系的理解，合成目标将针对与金属提取相关的工业或环境重要化学分离材料。该项目的预期成果包括对针对特定应用定制晶态微孔材料的基本化学方面的新见解。这应该会带来显著的好处，例如未来用于工业重要分离过程的低能源和高效率技术，并降低财务和环境成本。

This project aims to develop new porous materials that are capable of greater molecular discrimination than current technologies. This project expects to advance understanding of fundamental structure-activity relationships in these materials, and synthetic targets will be geared towards materials for industrially or environmentally important chemical separations associated with metal extraction. Expected outcomes of this project include new insights on the underlying chemistry for tailoring crystalline microporous materials towards select applications. This should provide significant benefits, such as future low-energy and efficient technologies for industrially important separation processes with reduced financial and environmental costs.
