RESEARCH
The adsorption and recognition properties of porous crystalline materials come from the host-guest interactions in the pores. However, due to the complexity on the interface, we still lack the deep understanding of the physics and chemistry involved in the specific host-guest interactions. Working in the interdisciplinary area between coordination chemistry, organic supramolecular chemistry and electrochemistry, our group have been investigating the host-guest interactions that happen in the pores of crystalline microporous materials. We introduced host-guest recognition, which usually happens in the solution state, to the interface of solid and solution in the pores. Research on the host-guest interactions between the intrinsic vacancies in the crystals and the incoming ions has introduced a new strategy to build multi-component materials with multi-functionalities by filling the vacancies. Recently, we have explored the use of metal–organic frameworks to recognize, enrich, and transport electrochemical related molecules and ions to enhance the performance of lithium-based batteries.
