Hybrid photocatalytic nanomaterials for water purification

该项目旨在合成和合成一系列多孔光催化材料（吸收光催化反应的材料），并建立高通量工艺，以同时测试多种光催化材料的有效性。这个跨学科项目预计将开发两种新技术，这将导致更快的材料优化材料，在光照射下分解水中的有机污染物。预期成果包括在澳大利亚生产工业相关的光催化剂和建设能力，以减少光催化测试时间和成本。这将为工业和环境带来重大惠益，并对人类健康产生影响。

This project aims to synthesise and characterise a range of porous photocatalytic materials (materials that absorb light to catalyse a reaction), and to establish high-throughput processes to simultaneously test the effectiveness of multiple photocatalytic materials. This interdisciplinary project expects to develop two new techniques that will lead to faster materials optimisation of materials that breakdown organic pollutants in water under light irradiation. The intended outcomes include the production of industrially relevant photocatalysts and building capability in Australia to decrease photocatalytic testing time and cost. This should provide significant benefits to industry and the environment, and have an impact on human health.
