RESEARCH INTERESTS

• Resource recovery

• Water-energy-nexus

• Reactive membrane filter

• Self-remediating nanomaterials

• Spontaneous electron transfer

• Catalyst

• Solar energy

• The development of the environmental nanomaterial that could initiate spontaneous environmental redox reactions

• The redox reactions should be initiated under dark ambient conditions without external energy and chemicals

• Thus, the ultimate purification system is chemical- and energy-efficient environmental purification system

1.2. Spontaneous reductive transformation of inorganic contaminants on Fe2O3/CNF

• A spontaneous electron transfer initiates from the surface oxygen-containing functional groups (C-OH) on CNF

• Fe2O3 nanorods serve as the efficient electron mediator

1.3. Spontaneous and simultaneous organic & inorganic contaminants on Fe2O3/CNF

• Simultaneous and synergistic organic & inorganic contaminants removal on Fe2O3/CNF under dark aerated conditions

• The generation of external oxidants (OH radical) & reductants (organic intermediates) facilitated synergistic environmental redox reactions under dark ambient aerated conditions

Research Topic_2: Simultaneous microplastics degradation & energy production (PEC)

• 3D TiO2 electrode simultaneous microplastics degradation and H2O2 & H2 production (photoelectrochemical system)

Research Topic_3: Persulfate activation

• Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) serves as a complexing ligand and a radical precursor in the activation process

• Visible light irradiation activates PMS on TiO2 via ligand-to-metal charge transfer mechanism (LMCT)

Research Topic_4: Resource recovery

• Mechanistic unveiling and the behaviors of selective Cu ions removal on H-bonded organic-inorganic frameworks and its regeneration processes for practical recycling
