Power of large pores in MOFs!
In our latest work by our student Tsan-Yu, aniline was polymerized in Zr-MOFs with large mesopores, small mesopores, and only micropores. PANI@large mesoporous MOF shows the best rate capability!
Check it in ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces:
doi.org/10.1021/acsa...
In our student Hsin-Ya's work, we reported the first example of Zr-MOF initiator for polymerization to make a conducting polymer! 2D MOF-dispersed PPy can be synthesized for electrochemical sensing.
It is just out in ACS Applied Nano Materials:

Arriving at Greece! Looking forward to seeing friends at EuroMOF @euromof.bsky.social
tomorrow at Crete!
Nice to meet so many friends with enriched discussions at GRC Nanoporous Materials!

Great visit and enjoyable discussions at Dartmouth!
Thank Katherine and the Mirica Group for the warm hosting, and it's my pleasure to serve as the external examiner for the defense of Dr. Cline!
Looking forward to meeting friends at GRC Nanoporous Materials next week!
Our master student Yu-Chi's work, showing that halogen atoms on linkers of defective UiO-66 can facilitate electrocatalytic oxygen evolution (OER) occurring on neighboring installed iridium sites, is out in CrystEngComm!

Farewell & welcome party of the group in 2025!
Congratulations to 5 master & 1 PhD students on (going to) graduate this Summer, and congratulations to Kuan-Chu on starting the new journey as PhD student in ChemE at Rice!
Really enjoying AMIC 2025 in Singapore! In addition to talks and discussions, it is also great to show the power of Karaoke from Taiwan (in the banquet)!

Beginning of MOF Taiwan-2025 at NTU, and the party prior to the conference!
Great to meet so many friends!
As conference chair, it is my pleasure to announce that 2025 ICGET-Tw & Annual Meeting of Electrochemical Society, Taiwan (ECS-Tw), held at NCKU, Tainan on Oct. 31-Nov. 2, is open for submission and registration!

Submit your abstract by Aug. 4, 2025!
Great to meet Prof. Xing Yi Ling at NCKU, Taiwan, and really enjoying the discussion!
Looking forward to meeting you again at AMIC 2025 in Singapore soon!
Our Department at NCKU, Taiwan, has 3 tenure-track faculty positions in Chemical Engineering and all related fields, to begin from February 2026.
Apply before July 15, 2025. More details:

Feel free to share and/or message me for more details!
Seeing some ppl (getting more) publishing >100 papers/yr with some high-impact-factor journals. Feeling that from now on, it does not matter which Journal you published and how many. Only things matter are science reported in each work and your actual contributions in each.

Mesopore matters! Our master student Tzu-Hsien's work shows that creating large mesopores in Zr-MOF by surfactant-assisted synthesis can accelerate the ion-coupled charge-hopping process and thus boost electrochemical performances. It is out in Electrochimica Acta:

Thanks!

Our review on Zr-MOFs for batteries and supercapacitors is out in Coordination Chemistry Reviews!
doi.org/10.1016/j.cc...
I was working intensively on it for a couple months during late 2024, and good to see it's out! Also, glad to see it's a part of special issue of MOF2024@Singapore!
Abstract was just submitted! Hope to meet friends in Crete this September!
10.04.2025 15:36 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It’s 2nd time to get seem-to-be AI-generated review on our manuscript. Lengthy, very general, and scientifically ill-constructive. Easy to address, but barely helpful to make science & interpretations better.
More of these will damage quality of papers in journal (which AI may further rely on them).
📢 The #EuroMOF2025 Call for Papers is open until April 20th! Don't miss your chance and share your research.

This year’s EuroMOF is hosted by the University of Crete, who will welcome you in beautiful #Heraklion.
