Dr. Maryam Khaleel worked on the synthesis and characterization of hierarchical zeolites, in particular Faujasite nanostructures, for applications in catalysis and separation. Her work focused on i) developing a better understanding of the nucleation and growth of hierarchical morphologies of Faujasite formed by FAU/EMT intergrowth using transmission electron microscopy imaging (room temperature and cryogenic) and diffraction, and ii) developing a novel approach for the synthesis of nano-sized Faujasite from inorganic sols.
Her current research interests are on porous materials including zeolites, MOFs, and carbons, particularly on the design and synthesis of hierarchical and nano-materials for applications in separation, sustainable catalysis, and thermal and electrical energy storage.
