The Hodges Research Group is broadly interested in the synthesis and applications of new inorganic solids, with a particular emphasis on microporous oxides, metal chalcogenides, and multi-anion materials for energy-related applications including thermoelectrics and heterogeneous catalysis. Members of the group learn a variety of synthesis and characterization techniques, and also have opportunities to study the properties of newly discovered compounds. The research programs are designed to impart lab members with skillsets that will translate to a diverse range of career paths.
Microporous Oxides
Porous oxides with synthetically challenging combinations of elements for adsorbent and catalysis applications
Multi-Anion Materials
Exploratory synthesis of multi-anion solids for energy applications using high-temperature solid-state methods
Thermoelectrics
Design, synthesis, and high-temperature transport properties of narrow bandgap semiconductors
