Phillip Milner

Phillip Milner is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. His research focuses on the intersection of organic and materials chemistry, particularly in the development of new methods for organic synthesis and the identification of novel chemistries for separations. His group explores the use of framework materials to advance catalysis and chemical separations, with applications in pharmaceutical synthesis and therapeutic delivery. Milner's work also addresses challenges in carbon capture and the safe handling of gases as solid reagents. His research spans electrochemistry, photocatalysis, and the design of materials for sustainable chemical processes.

Phillip J. Milner, a researcher at Cornell University, focuses on chemistry, particularly in the development and application of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for carbon capture and CO 2 adsorption. His work explores cooperative mechanisms in MOFs for efficient CO 2 capture from various sources, including coal flue gas and natural gas emissions. Milner also investigates the role of water in CO 2 capture and the impact of pore environments on catalytic processes. His research includes the synthesis of functionalized MOFs and the study of catalytic reactions such as Pd-catalyzed fluorination and cyclohexane oxidation. These efforts aim to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of carbon capture technologies and catalytic processes.
