Research

Molecular Engineering for Global Challenges

At the Buyukcakir Lab, we design materials from the atoms up. By controlling molecular interactions with precision, we create architectures that solve the world’s most pressing problems in energy and the environment.

Sustainable Energy Solutions

We focus on the development of advanced redox-active polymers and organic electrode materials for next-generation aqueous Zinc-ion batteries and high-performance energy conversion devices.

Precision Environmental Capture

Our lab pioneers Covalent Quinazoline Networks (CQNs) and high-surface-area porous organic polymers (POPs) for record-breaking CO₂ sequestration and iodine capture applications.
