Kort presentation
Chao Xu is currently an Associate Professor at Uppsala University, where he leads an independent research group focusing on functional porous materials. He is the main PI of several research projects funded by Swedish Research Council, Formas, Swedish Energy Agency, Vinnova, and ÅForsk. He has received several awards, including the King Carl XVI Gustaf’s 50th Birthday Fund for Science, Technology, and the Environment and the Göran Gustafsson Prize (UU/KTH).
Forskning
Our research focuses on the green synthesis and engineering of porous materials, including covalent organic frameworks (COFs), porous organic polymers (POPs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), for energy and environmental applications.
