Heterogeneous Photocatalysis
The research group focuses on photocatalytic processes. Its activities include studying the efficiency of photocatalysts for the photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide, photocatalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide, photocatalytic water splitting in the presence of methanol, and the removal of pollutants from water. The group also investigates the kinetics of photocatalytic reactions and the application of advanced oxidation processes for waste gas treatment.
The laboratory is equipped with batch photocatalytic reactors of various geometries for gas- and liquid-phase reactions, a flow reactor for gas-phase testing, a photoelectrochemical spectrometer, a Kelvin probe, and a pilot-scale unit for advanced oxidation processes.
