Environmental remediation is a pressing issue due to the deterioration of water and air quality as a result of pollution. Porous metal oxide nanoparticles offer significant potential to tackle this challenge, for example through photocatalysis, adsorption or filtration. However, the development of reproducible and scalable synthetic methods to nanoparticles containing a tailored internal pore structure and reactivity remains a key challenge. This project aims to develop a novel synthetic route to porous metal oxide nanomaterials using a recyclable photoresponsive soft template, which will enable the controlled design of the internal pore structural hierarchy and lead to enhanced photocatalytic degradation of pollutants in water.Related EPSRC Research Areas: Biophysics and Soft Matter Physics, Light Matter Interaction and Optical Phenomena, Catalysis

由于污染导致水和空气质量恶化，环境修复是一个紧迫的问题。多孔性金属氧化物纳米颗粒提供了巨大的潜力来应对这一挑战，例如通过光催化、吸附或过滤。然而，开发可重复和可扩展的合成方法来制备包含量身定制的内部孔结构和反应活性的纳米颗粒仍然是一个关键挑战。本项目旨在开发一种利用可回收的光响应性软模板来合成多孔性金属氧化物纳米材料的新方法，这将使内部孔结构层次的可控设计成为可能，并导致增强对水中污染物的光催化降解。
