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.
