2017-2018

Description:

We propose in this project to extend their applications as multifunctional materials for pollutant analysis and treatment, i.e. the luminous sensing, absorption and catalytic degradation of various pollutant ions (e.g. cyanides, nitrate, chlorite, phosphate or heavy metals) and small molecules (nitrogen, nitrous oxides (NOx), ozone (O3) and carbon monoxide (CO)). These target ions/molecules are detrimental to the quality of water resources and air. Detailed protocols for these applications will be developed by our team and will initially be trialed by our partner in Mainland China in the detection and treatment of various pollutants in freshwater/atmospheric environment.
