The group deals with photocatalytic processes. The group studies the efficiency of photocatalysts for photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide, photocatalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide, photocatalytic water splitting in presence of methanol, degradation of pollutants from water. The group also researches the kinetics of photocatalytic reactions and the use of advanced oxidation processes for waste gas treatment. The laboratory is equipped with batch photocatalytic reactors with different geometries for gas and liquid phase reactions, flow reactor for gas phase testing, photoelectrochemical spectrometer, Kelvin probe and a semi-operating unit for advanced oxidation processes.
