Nominator's project description

Professor Chen is a highly recognized chemist in the field of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a class of porous materials, which is setting world records nowadays in terms of the extremely high specific surface area and rationally adjustable pore size. During his stay in Germany he will work on new materials for the storage of energy carriers and responsive MOFs for the separation of gases.
