 Prof. Li’s interests and activities are primarily in the areas of solid-state inorganic and materials chemistry.Her current research focuses on the development of new and functional materials that are fundamentally important and relevant for clean and renewable energy applications.These include (a) metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation, carbon dioxide capture, catalysis, waste remediation and sensing; These materials are made of a metal ion or metal cluster such as transition metals and organic ligands such as carboxylate groups and nitrogen containing molecules; (b) inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductors for photovoltaics and solid-state lighting.
