My research interests encompass carbon capture utilizing polymeric membranes and the advancement of novel amine carriers to facilitate CO₂ separation. We prioritize Thin Film Composite (TFC) membranes and asymmetric membranes, crafted from synthetic and bio-polymers, blended with nano fillers to enhance performance and long-term stability in practical settings. Transport studies are conducted to evaluate membrane performance under realistic conditions, contributing to our comprehensive understanding of membrane technology.

Our focus lies in CO₂ separation from CO₂/N₂ and CO₂/H₂ gas mixtures at elevated temperatures, with additional attention directed towards membrane development for high-temperature fuel cells. To achieve commercial viability, we concentrate on membrane and module production, including spiral wound and hollow fiber module. We possess the infrastructure for pilot-scale support casting and membrane coating for both flat sheet and hollow fiber membranes.

Concurrently, we are engaged in a collaborative project aimed at fabricating a new membrane skid for field-testing, involving the construction of  scrubbers and humidifiers.
