Chinese : 李静 )
[1] is a Board of Governors Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at
Rutgers University ,
New Jersey ,
United States . She and her team are engaged in
solid-state ,
inorganic and inorganic-organic hybrid
materials research.
[2] Her current research focuses on designing and developing new functional materials including
metal-organic frameworks and hybrid
semiconductors for applications in the field of
renewable and
sustainable energy, and clean environment.
Li’s research has resulted in 12 issued patents and over 460 publications
[3] (articles, invited book chapters, feature and review papers), in high
impact factor journals such as
Science Magazine ,
Nature Communications , the
Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS ),
Advanced Materials and
Angewandte Chemie International Edition . She was selected as a Highly Cited Researcher by Thomson Reuters
[4] in 2015 and 2016, and by Clarivate Analytics
[5] in 2019, 2020 and 2022.
[6]
Education
Li completed her undergraduate studies in China, and received her master's degree from the
State University of New York at
Albany .
She obtained her PhD degree in January 1990 at
Cornell University under the supervision of Professor
Roald Hoffmann , the 1981
Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry .
[7] She continued to work at Cornell as a postdoc for two years (1989–1991) with Professor Francis "Frank" J. DiSalvo before taking an academic position at
Rutgers University .
[8]
Professional career
Li joined the Rutgers Faculty as an
assistant professor in 1991, where she was promoted to
associate professor in 1996,
full professor in 1999, and distinguished professor in 2006.
[9] Her current research group consists of postdoc associates, graduate students, visiting scientists, exchange graduate students and undergraduate students.
[10]
Li has developed and taught 17 different undergraduate and graduate courses since her first appointment with the university.
Research
Li’s focus of research includes areas of solid-state inorganic and materials chemistry. Her current research focuses on the development of new and functional materials that are fundamentally important and relevant for clean and renewable energy applications. These include (a)
metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas storage and separation, carbon dioxide capture, waste remediation and chemical sensing,
[11]
[12]
[13]
[14]
[15]
[16]
[17] and energy efficient lighting applications;
[18]
[19] These materials are made of a metal ion or metal cluster such as
transition metals and organic ligands such as carboxylate groups and nitrogen containing molecules; (b) inorganic-organic hybrid
semiconductors for optoelectronic devices such as photovoltaics and solid-state lighting.
[20]
[21]
[22]
[23]
[24] These crystalline compounds consist of both inorganic and organic structure motifs. They combine the good features of the two components, resulting in enhanced and improved properties.
