معرفی
Dr. Kui Tan is a Research Associate Professor at the University of North Texas, specializing in Materials Chemistry. He holds a Ph.D. (2014) and M.S. (2011) in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas.
Research Focus
His work centers on designing functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for critical applications:
- Gas Separation: Developing porous materials for efficient hydrocarbon (C2H4/C2H6, propyne/propylene) and CO₂ separation
- Environmental Remediation: Creating adsorbents for removing PFAS, uranium, pertechnetate, and selenium from nuclear waste/water
- Advanced Materials: Engineering MOFs with tailored porosity, stability, and functionality for sensors, LEDs, and catalysis
Recent Publication Trends (2023-2025)
Analysis of 15 recent articles reveals dominant themes:
- Optimization of MOF interfaces/structure for contaminant capture (PFAS, radionuclides)
- Thermodynamic/dynamic studies of gas adsorption in nanopores
- Novel separation mechanisms (temperature-dependent sieving, valence matching)
- Hybrid materials for energy/optical applications
