Photocatalytic Processes
Development of photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic processes and reactors for treatment of industrial effluents containing organic pollutants and for CO2 conversion into chemicals of commercial interest. Addressed subjects include the synthesis and application of semiconductors as photocatalysts, with UV and visible light activity.
