By National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC)
Nanocatalysis, Adsorption, and Computational Research Group (NCAS) is a research group under the National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC), focusing on Innovative research in the design, synthesis, fabrication, and engineering of nanomaterials for environmental and energy applications. This involves experimental processes combined with computational chemistry techniques and networking systems for monitoring and control (Internet of Things, IoT). The research areas include: 1) catalysts, adsorbents, selective membranes, and advanced nanomaterials such as nanocarbon, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), nanocomposites, and nanolignocellulose; 2) CO2 capture and utilization processes, biofuel production, clean renewable energy, bio-based chemicals, value-added chemicals, biomaterials, and environmental remediation processes; 3) computational research and development, including the use of various simulation techniques from the atomic scale to the macroscale, as well as IoT for the analysis and diagnosis of critical national issues.
