Design and applications of photoresponsive MOFs
Applications are invited for a funded PhD position in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of microporous crystalline materials made of organic ligands linked to metal nodes, self-assembled to form infinite frameworks with nanoscale pores and channels.

Dynamic behaviours of metal-organic frameworks and their guests
Self-funded applicants are invited to join our vibrant research community at the University of Birmingham's School of Chemistry for a PhD position focused on functional Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Read more
Supramolecular dyes for functional materials
Organic dyes such as perylene diimides are essential building blocks for materials that absorb and emit light, making them important in optical sensing, solar cells and bioimaging. Read more
Self-Assembled MOF Composites
The PhD project will focus on the preparation of metal-organic framework (MOF) composite materials. In particular, we will study the self-assembly of crystalline MOFs into arrays using the principles of supramolecular chemistry. Read more

Chemical Recycling of PET Plastic Using Thermo-Responsive Catalyst Supports
There is an urgent need to devise processes for recycling plastics, with an estimated 460 million metric tonnes of plastics being utilised worldwide in 2019 alone, of which only 10% is recycled globally, the remainder going to incineration, landfill or export. Read more
Nanoporous Materials for Energy Absorption
Nanoporous materials such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are having their applications in mechanical energy absorption. Read more
Wearable Sample Collection for Biosensing
Measurement of low abundance proteins is key for enabling early detection of diseases [1]. A widely used method for the measurement of low abundance proteins is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [2]. Read more
