Research Intrests:

* Our research interest focus on the synthesis of Zeolites, MOFs and organometallic complexes based on transition metals-aimed toward the understanding and controlling the complexity within some reactions. Studies on both the energy carriers and the energy storage systems are currently ongoing in the lab. In particular, we are interested in new pathways for the fabrication of new ligands suitable for biodiesel production, H2 storage and methanol formation, .... Furthermore, the electronic characteristics of these ligands and the metal centers display promising reactivity for methanol formation. Insights obtained from studies on mechanism can lead to design new catalysts with novel catalytic activity.
 * In addition, the applications of synthesized nano-structures (Nano catalysts & Zeolites) were studied in a pilot scale reactor in our applied chemistry laboratory. My current research also, emphasizes adsorption isotherms of different absorbents and catalytic applications of nanomaterials in oil and gas industries.
