This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $466,359 to The Washington University in University City, Missouri to develop a new family of porous organic frameworks. These lightweight, carbon-based crystalline materials will feature both small cavities for selectively recognizing molecules of similar sizes and larger channels for high-capacity uptake and rapid transport. The goal is to create adaptive materials that can expand and contract like a sponge, dynamically adjusting their large channels to enhance molecular capture and release while maintaining the integrity of the small, selective cavities. This adaptive capability could enable more effective technologies for water and air purification, as well as energy-efficient chemical processing. The project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, also supports the training of future scientists through hands-on research in chemistry and materials science, as well as K-12 student outreach programs.
