报告摘要：

   Membrane technology plays a vital role in almost all energy related applications. In petrochemical industry, membrane technology can save up to 90% energy compared to conventional separation technologies. Next-generation battery technologies such as Li-S battery require functional membranes to eliminate sulfur cross-over while allow lithium to fast transport. Membrane is also the most promising technology for energy-related materials such as CO2capture and lithium extraction from inferior resources. In this talk, I will introduce our research in synthesis of high-performance membranes out of ordered porous materials, and their applications in propylene/propane separation, water treatment, Li-S battery, and lithium extraction from seawater.

专家简介：

Dr. Zhiping Lai is a professor in the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering program of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). He received his B.E. and M.S. from Tsinghua University, China, and Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research focuses on developing high-performance membranes out of ordered porous materials and their applications in the separation of hydrocarbon mixtures, seawater desalination, lithium-sulfur batteries, and low-grade heat recovery. He is the SABIC presidential chair from 2013 to 2016 and the 2020 AIChE Industrial Gases Award recipient. He is recognized as one of the pioneers who opened up the field of MOF membranes which has been one of the most active research directions in membrane research.
