Research Interest:
Photocatalysts for Environmental Remediation
Ensuring the availability of clean and abundant fresh water for human use is among the most pressing issues facing the world and will become a critical problem over the next 20 years. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has become an effective method for eliminating organic contaminants in both gas and liquid phases. From an economic point of view, it can be considered a sustainable technology, thus attracting intense interest as an effective candidate method for remediation of contaminants (Research on Chemical Intermediates 45 (2019) 2197–2254).
ZnO photocatalyst for environmental remediation (Thin Solid Films 605 (2016) 2–19).
Photocatalytic Hydrogen Generation
Energy crisis due to both population growth and industrial development has been a big challenge in recent decades. The availability of fossil fuel resources is limited day by day, and, in addition, CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect as a result of combustion are becoming a global concern. Hydrogen has a higher energy content (120–142 MJ kg-1) in comparison with hydrocarbon fuels and it is predicted that it will be the major source of energy generation (90%) up to 2080. Currently, numerous research studies have been undertaken to employ semiconductors with bandgap energies suitable for visible light absorption of the solar spectrum for photocatalytic water splitting.
