Welcome to the Yang Group

Framework materials are built from the periodic linking of functional components by covalent or coordination bonds in the three-dimensional space. We target the design and synthesis of new functional materials with exceptional stability and functions tailored for energy storage, clean-air technology, carbon capture, sustainable catalysis, and future medicine. We focus on investigations of the structure and dynamics information underpinning their materials function using state-of-the-art neutron scattering, and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy, combined with modelling.
