Advanced Processing of Multifunctional Materials for Adsorptive Removal and Sensing of Chemical Warfare Agents
Abstract
The ability to manipulate and control matter at the nanoscale offers the potential for radical advances in how we produce chemicals, materials, and energy. The design of nanoscale structures provides access to physicochemical properties that are distinctly different and unattainable compared to the bulk phase. This control at the nanoscale is critical for advancing a broad spectrum of technologies ranging from adsorption separations, sensing, and catalysis to solar cells and lithium-ion batteries. The goal of this proposed research project is to develop advanced multifunctional materials and processing techniques that can be used for the removal, detection, or destruction of chemical warfare agents (CWAs). The proposed work will build on our previous research on metal-organic frameworks for removal of ammonia, carbon monoxide, and other toxic chemicals. A particular emphasis will be placed on creating engineered forms and composites of multifunctional nanopowders that are suitable for use in low-pressure drop CWA removal devices or for incorporation into chemical sensing arrays.
