Catalysts for Environmental Remediation

Environmental problems pertaining to soil and water pollution have been an important issue over decades. Organic dyes, chemicals and heavy metals are the major pollutants in wastewater produced from textile and industrial processes. AMDL is intended to advance the development of novel catalyst materials, which are urgently needed in particular for remediation of wastewater and the production of green hydrogen for the energy transition. Especially, photocatalytic processes are an effective way to decompose the wastewater organic pollutants into less dangerous matter which can be considered as an efficient and cost-effective alternative for water cleaning. Also, it is one of the ways to produce hydrogen gas is the photoelectrochemical system, which decomposes water molecules through solar energy over photocatalyst to produce hydrogen and oxygen.
