Project summary

This research program aims to develop new classes of layered metal oxides as efficient visible-light photocatalysts. The project will establish a fundamental understanding of the relationships between the synthesis, modification, structure, and ultimately the solar-driven catalytic performance of new material systems. The expected advances in materials and solar energy conversion technology will have applications in water purification, self-cleaning/anti-reflective coatings, and viable hydrogen generation process.
