Research Interests | Research Interests: The Peng laboratory focuses on synthetic chemistry and polymer based materials, encompassing develop new methods for controlling catalytic reactions, and the synthesis and structure of organic materials. Her main research interests include green chemistry and biopolymer functional materials. Specializing in the design of biopolymer-based homogeneous, heterogeneous and photo-catalysts (noble metal, MOF, and conjugated molecule, etc), lignocelluloses based core-shell nanostructures, and network microstructures (i.e. hydrogel, aerogel, dendrimer, nanoporous carbon material, and flexible polymer material) prepared by physical processes or chemical synthesis with applications in organic reactions, CO2 fixation, sensors, biology&biomedical, biomass&bioenergy, energy conversion, and platform chemicals (i.e. furfural, and saccharic acid). Additionally, the development of biomass based ligands will be investigated for responsive materials. |
