At AML, our research is dedicated to the design, synthesis, and application of advanced porous and thin-film materials, with a strong focus on addressing global challenges in water purification and sustainable energy. Our core research directions include:
Development of advanced membrane materials via electrospinning for membrane technology
We design and fabricate high-performance membranes using electrospinning techniques, aiming to enhance key properties such as water flux, selectivity, and antifouling performance.
These membranes are applied in diverse areas including seawater and brackish water desalination, wastewater treatment, and the separation of bioactive compounds and pharmaceutical agents.
2. Synthesis and application of nanostructured and quantum dot photocatalysts
Our team focuses on developing nanomaterials, thin films, and quantum dots with tailored photocatalytic properties.
These materials are applied in green hydrogen production and next-generation solar cells, promoting clean energy technologies aligned with green chemistry principles.
At AML, we integrate material innovation with environmental responsibility, utilizing advanced fabrication methods and sustainable strategies. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we strive to translate fundamental research into practical solutions for clean water and renewable energy.
