Hydrogen Production and Separation by Pd-based Membrane Reactor

Welcome to the Liguori Research Group

Our mission is to transform separation science into sustainable energy solutions. We develop next-generation membrane reactors and functional materials that enable hydrogen production, CO2 valorization, and precision ion separation. Through interdisciplinary innovation, we bridge molecular-scale transport and process-scale performance to accelerate decarbonization and resource sustainability.
