Preparation of Materials and Waste Valorisation
The research group focuses on the preparation and optimisation of various types of nanostructured materials in different macroscopic forms, using both inorganic precursors and readily available waste materials. These materials are developed primarily for adsorption, photocatalytic and catalytic oxidation of organic pollutants in waste gases, as well as for the photocatalytic reduction of greenhouse gases.
In addition to conventional preparation methods, the group uses processes and technologies based on supercritical and superheated fluids, subcritical water and microwaves for material synthesis and waste valorisation. The group also provides analytical services focused on the textural characterisation of materials.
