This research focuses on the design and modification of high surface area, porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The objective is to utilize these materials as catalysts to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-value cyclic carbonates, which are crucial for the polymer and battery industries. MOFs typically suffer from diffusion limitations because their pores …

Professor Dr. Sumrit Wacharasindhu developed a green synthesis method using enzymatic catalysis. We didn’t reinvent the wheel — but we did make it greener . Enzymatic reactions in water  are promising, but solubility often holds them back especially for organic compounds like α-oxo ketene dithioacetals . So we switched from “on-water” to “in-water” using a biodegradable surfactant, TPGS-750-M . …
