China University of Petroleum East China | China
Dr. Sen Liu is a computational materials scientist at China University of Petroleum (East China), focusing on high-throughput screening and rational design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for carbon capture. His research integrates molecular-level modeling with process engineering insights through novel multi-metric evaluation frameworks that balance adsorption performance with energy efficiency. He has authored 28 scholarly works, which have been cited approximately 895 times, and holds an h-index of 17. His key publications include “Acetylene-Triggered Gate-Opening Behavior in a Stable Rigid-Flexible MOF for Efficient C₂H₂/CO₂ Separation”, “Effect of pore chemistry regulations on CO₂ capture efficiency: Charge transfer between anchored open metal sites and frameworks”, and “Efficient CO₂ capture and separation in MOFs: Effect from isoreticular double interpenetration”, among others. Beyond these, he has advanced CO₂ separations in partially interpenetrated MOFs and in alkali-metal anchored COFs, elucidating synergistic roles of functional groups, pore size, steric effects, and metal anchoring. Dr. Liu serves on the editorial board of Chemical Engineering Journal. His contributions have bridged the gap between molecular materials design and system-level optimization, accelerating the development of next-generation porous materials for practical carbon capture technologies.
