Research and Practice Interests

Dr. Dong is the Ohio Eminent Scholar and Rieveschl Chair in Membrane Science and Technology in CEAS at University of Cincinnati. His research involves syntheses and characterizations of novel microporous inorganic membranes, solid ionic thin films, and nanostructured catalysts and investigations to understand their structure-performance relationships pertinent to applications in clean energy technologies. Most of his works have been focused on zeolite-based membranes and thin films for applications including proton conduction in redox flow batteries, brine desalination and ion separation for wastewater reclamation and valuable material recovery, gas separations in hydrogen production and CO2 capture/conversion, and optical probers for chemical and physical sensors.
