Leem Research Group

Molecular Solutions for Biomass and Solar Energy Conversion and Water Remediation

The major research of our group is to design, synthesize and characterize a new class of hybrid polymeric-metal composite materials offering a source of inspiration for new discoveries across the sciences. Molecular solutions to challenges such as global warming, environmental pollution, or solar energy conversion are in high demand. Polymeric-metal composite materials have enormous potential to solve these challenges, but new and selective methodologies are needed for efficient implementation.

Core Vision: The future of sustainable synthetic photoelectrochemistry is built on the principles of renewable energy utilization, atom economy, and scalable green synthesis.

Research goal: The Leem research group aims to develop efficient, selective, and robust PEC systems that integrate solar energy with electrochemical synthesis, revolutionizing chemical transformations.
