About
Christian Serre is a leading figure in the chemistry of porous materials, with a particular focus on the design and application of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for water sorption. His major contributions lie in engineering highly stable, hygroscopic MOFs that can efficiently capture and release water from the atmosphere, even in arid conditions. This work, exemplified by his 2023 study on "Hygroscopic Materials" (35 citations), has profound implications for addressing global water scarcity through atmospheric water harvesting. Serre’s research has been instrumental in moving MOFs from fundamental curiosity to practical devices, demonstrating their potential in dehumidification, heat transfer, and sustainable water management. With a career spanning hundreds of publications and tens of thousands of citations, his work on the stability and functionalization of porous solids has set benchmarks in the field. A recipient of multiple international awards, Serre continues to push the boundaries of reticular chemistry, inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore how molecularly designed materials can solve real-world environmental challenges.
