Profile

Prof. Bo Liu

Prof. Liu Bo received his PhD degree from at AIST, Japan in 2009. Afterwards, he was awarded a Humboldt postdoctoral scholarship co-hosted by Prof. Roland A Fischer and Christof Woell from Ruhr University and Karlsruhe University, respectively. In 2012, he was supported by the "Marie Curie Action Plan" from European Union and worked as a Marie Curie scholar in the Matthew Rosseinsky Research Group at University of Liverpool, UK. In 2015, Bo Liu joined in the University of Science and Technology of China as an independent PI, mainly engaged in functional porous materials, energy chemistry and CCUS related research. Professor Bo Liu's research interest focused on the precise regulation of nanopore properties in the synthetic chemistry of porous materials, including 1) developing MOF template effect of MOF materials and opening up the research interest in MOF-based carbon materials; 2) Controlling the layer spacing and chemical environment of two-dimensional materials separation at molecular scale, 3) establishing the concept of Hydrogen-bond Ionic Framework material (HIF) and demonstrating its elasticity in single crystal form, adaptive adsorption properties etc., and developing the idea of supramolecular chemistry carbon capture as a potential solution for carbon neutralization. Prof. Liu Bo has published more than 60 peer reviewed papers in J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Funct. Mater., Nat. Communs., etc., with a single paper cited ca. 1800 times.
