WELCOME TO YAVUZLAB

Prof. Cafer T. Yavuz moved from KAIST at the end of 2020 and established the lab in KAUST with a core team of 12 scholars. Officially named Oxide and Organic Nanomaterials for Energy and Environment Laboratory (ONE Lab), we focus on nanomaterials design and development for applications that span from gas capture and storage to heterogeneous catalysis, seawater mining to 3D printing.

PATENTS

  • Solvent-linked porous covalent organic polymers and method of preparing the same
  • Electroless plating solution and electroless plating method for recovering precious metal adsorbed on porous porphyrin polymer
  • The electrochemical plating apparatus for recovering a noble metal adsorbed to the porous polymeric porphyrin
  • Solvent-linked porous covalent organic polymers and method of preparing the same

    US Patent 11,535,701,2022
    Inventors:
    Cafer T Yavuz, Vepa Rozyyev, Joo Sung Lee
    Abstract:
    Solvent-linked porous covalent organic polymers (COPs) and a method of preparing the same are described. The porous covalent organic polymers are linked by a solvent and are thus suitable for the transportation and storage of natural gas. A method of preparing the porous covalent organic polymers by conducting alkylation polymerization between an aromatic monomer and a chlorine-based solvent in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst is described. Porous stretchable covalent organic polymers having pores with various sizes can be synthesized simply and quickly at room temperature and atmospheric pressure without a heating or purification step. The covalent organic polymers have very high natural gas storage capacity due to the flexible porous network structure thereof and thus are suitable for storage and transportation of natural gas and useful as a natural gas adsorbent.

  • Electroless plating solution and electroless plating method for recovering precious metal adsorbed on porous porphyrin polymer

    US Patent App. 17/413,559, 2022
    Inventors:
    Jong-In Han, SON JiEun, Cafer Yavuz, HONG Youngran
    Abstract:
    The present invention relates to a method for recovering a precious metal selectively adsorbed on a porous porphyrin polymer, and to an electroless plating method capable of recovering a precious metal in a film form by desorbing and leaching the precious metal without an additional oxidizing agent and using same as a plating solution to reduce the precious metal on the surface of a substrate without an additional reducing agent.
