Photocatalysis.
Year from
2013
Year to
2015
Aim:
Primary aim is development of a novel generation of low-cost nano-engineered photocatalysts for sunlight-driven water depollution and their application in paintable photoreactors envisaged particularly as low-cost devices for detoxification of water from highly toxic persistent organic pollutants which represent a serious health issue in many remote rural areas of Vietnam and other countries.
Key words: photocatalysis; water remediation; nano-engineering; co-catalysts; atomic layer deposition; paintable photoreactor; persistent organic pollutants; herbicides; Vietnam
