His research has an affection for Zeolites. They can be made to serve high capacity solar collectors.
The Lobo group (click here) is part of the CCST at University of Delaware. The main research focus of the group is on the study of structure, synthesis and application of porous materials. In addition there is also research on catalysis and photocatalysis.

Who needs water for hydroelectric power? Steam energy. The application for energy production is astounding and it doesn't pollute.
Zeolite is a mineral (click here) that can store up to four times more heat than water. And what’s better, unlike water which gradually cools off, zeolite retains a hundred percent of the heat for an unlimited amount of time.
Zeolite – which means ‘boiling stone’ in Greek- was named for its peculiar properties. Zeolite is extremely porous. So much so, that a gram of the stuff has a surface area of a 1000 square meters (10,764 sq ft). When water comes into contact with zeolite it is bound to its surface by means of a chemical reaction which generates heat. Reversely, when heat is applied the water is removed from the surface, generating large amounts of steam....
