Research summary
AI-generated

Zi Tong's research focuses on developing advanced membrane materials and technologies for separating and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), including from flue gas and fuel cell exhaust streams. Work includes designing polymer membranes, mixed matrix membranes combining polymers with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs, porous crystalline materials), and facilitated transport membranes that selectively let CO2 pass through while blocking other gases. This research is relevant to students interested in materials engineering for environmental and energy applications such as carbon capture and gas purification.
