Australia is one of the driest continents and re-use of water/wastewater has been an urgent issue. Photoelectrocatalytic oxidation processes based on nanostructured TiO2 electrode are able to mineralize common aquatic organic and microbial pollutants. The proposed technology has the advantages of strong oxidation power and cheap production cost, and it is chemically stable, robust under UV illumination, and most importantly, environmentally friendly. The success of the project can place Australia in a leading position of developing cutting-edge TiO2 nano-material-based photoelectrochemical technologies for environmental wastewater treatment and drinking water disinfection.

澳大利亚是最干旱的大陆之一，水/废水的再利用一直是一个紧迫的问题。基于纳米结构TiO2电极的光电催化氧化工艺能够矿化常见的水生有机和微生物污染物。该技术具有氧化能力强、生产成本低、化学性质稳定、紫外线照射下性能稳定、环境友好等优点。该项目的成功将使澳大利亚在开发基于TiO2纳米材料的尖端光电化学技术用于环境废水处理和饮用水消毒方面处于领先地位。
