Funded Activity Summary
Doped Nanocrystalline TiO2 - Synthesis and application for photoreduction reactions. The proposed project aims to develop a novel photocatalyst, prepared by doping nanocrystalline TiO2 with noble metals, for use in photoreduction reactions. The ability of this photocatalyst to reduce heavy metals and its potential to generate H2 in an inert environment will be explored. The project will benefit the environment by removing toxic compounds from polluted wastewaters as well as potentially generating substantial levels of H2 (an attractive energy source). Project outcomes include the development of an economical and cleaner process for treating waters contaminated with heavy metals and providing a valuable knowledge base from which photoreductive efficiencies can be drawn.Funded Activity Details
