.Heterogeneous catalysts are widely used in energy and environmental applications. However, conventional catalysts do not currently possess the required efficiency for producing solar-converted clean fuels or for pollution abatement. On the basis of our expertise in nanomaterials and photocatalysis/catalysis, we propose to develop two new classes of nanocatalysts: (1) efficient sunlight driven hybrid nanostructured photocatalysts for clean energy. Here, the target is to design new solar fuel generation systems with the required efficiency, scalability, and sustainability to be economically viable. The photocatalytic conversion of H20 and CO2/H20 under sunlight to valuable energy vectors and fuels is one of potential solutions to both the global warming and energy shortage problems. The principal challenge of sunlight-to-fuel generation lies in designing an efficient photocatalytic system; (2) nanocrystalline porous hybrid catalysts for environmental remediation. Here, the target is to design new efficient catalyst systems for NOx and CO pollution abatement from mobile and stationary sources for commercial applications. The control of NOx and CO emission from automobiles remains challenging for both industry and academic researchers.

非均相催化剂广泛用于能源和环境应用。然而，传统的催化剂目前不具备生产太阳能转化的清洁燃料或减少污染所需的效率。基于我们在纳米材料和光催化方面的专业知识，我们建议开发两类新的纳米催化剂：（1）用于清洁能源的高效阳光驱动的混合纳米结构光催化剂。在这里，目标是设计具有所需效率，可扩展性和可持续性的新太阳能燃料发电系统，以实现经济可行性。在阳光下将H2O和CO2/H2O光催化转化为有价值的能量载体和燃料是解决全球变暖和能源短缺问题的潜在解决方案之一。太阳能发电的主要挑战在于设计高效的光催化系统;（2）纳米多孔杂化催化剂用于环境修复。在此，目标是设计新的高效催化剂系统，用于商业应用的移动的和固定源的NOx和CO污染减排。汽车NOx和CO排放的控制对于工业界和学术界来说都是一个挑战。
