O xoves 18 de setembro ás 11:00 horas teremos a oportunidade de coñecer o traballo de Laura M. Salonen, do Grupo de Nanomateriais Híbridos (CINBIO, Universidade de Vigo), que impartirá a charla "Covalent organic frameworks for catalysis and environmental application" dentro do ciclo "Coñece ao #teamCINBIO".
Será de xeito presencial na Sala de seminarios da Torre CACTI.
ABSTRACT:
Molecular framework materials allow for the precise placement of building blocks in a porous, crystalline matrix, which is highly advantageous for tailoring materials towards a specific purpose. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a member of this class of materials, which, with their crystalline, highly ordered, and porous nature, are receiving increasing interest for various applications. In this talk, synthetic approaches to obtain crystalline, functionalized COFs and composites thereof will be discussed. Different strategies to furnish the materials with catalytic activity in both photo- and electrocatalysis will be presented. On the other hand, key structural aspects on the design and synthesis of COFs for water contaminant capture will be considered.
BIO:
Laura M. Salonen holds a Master’s degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Turku, Finland. She carried out PhD research at ETH Zürich with Prof. François Diederich studying intermolecular interactions in protein-ligand complexes, specializing on aromatic interactions. After completing her thesis in 2011, she carried out postdoctoral research at LMU Munich under the supervision of Prof. Dirk Trauner and Prof. Thomas Bein. In 2013, she joined the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action COFUND fellow, where she was promoted to Staff Researcher in 2017. In 2020, Laura was awarded the Ramón y Cajal grant, and she joined CINBIO at the University of Vigo in May 2022. Her research focuses on the development of porous covalent and metal-organic framework materials for application in energy and environmental fields.
