Kai Landskron

Kai Landskron is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Lehigh University. His research focuses on high-pressure synthesis of mesoporous materials, supercapacitive swing adsorption for CO2 separation, and electrochemical engineering. He has been at Lehigh since 2006 and was promoted to full professor in 2018.

• Diplom in Chemistry, University of Bayreuth, Germany
• PhD in Chemistry, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich

Research interests include Energy and Catalysis, Molecular Assembly, Materials Science, and Nanoscience. Key areas are supercapacitive CO2 capture, high-pressure synthesis of mesoporous materials, and electrochemical methods for gas separation.

Recent publications highlight trends in supercapacitive swing adsorption (2024, 2014), high-pressure synthesis of nanomaterials (2010, 2009), and CO2 separation technologies (2019, 2017). Subfields span adsorption kinetics, porous frameworks, and material stability under extreme conditions.

Current students include Alysson Bermudez, Jacob Dooley, Jiajie Li, and Muhammad Bilal Zarafullah. The Landskron Research Group explores periodic mesoporous organosilicas, coesite nanocrystals, and diamond monoliths.
