Title: Application of photocatalyst on fibrous materials
Abstract:
The current rapid industrial development causes the serious energy and environmental crises. Photocatalyst provide a potential strategy to solve these problems because these materials not only can directly convert solar energy into usable or storable energy resources but also can decompose organic pollutants under solar-light irradiation. This talk will cover our investigation on the synthesis-structure-property relationship of semiconductor metal oxide, in order to develop high performance and easy recycling materials for practical application, which include pollutant detection, water and air pollutant treatment. The ultimate goal is to be able to develop semiconductor photocatalyst for energy conversion and environmental applications.
Biography:
Dr Wang received her Bachelor degree in Chemistry, Jilin University (China) and here PhD degree in Material Engineering at Deakin University (Australia). She had been working at Deakin University as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2012-2014) and Research Fellow (2015-current). Her research focuses on synthesis of nanostructured catalyst materials, such as structured-controlled metals oxides and core-shell composites, for solar energy utilization and environmental remediation. So far she has published over 40 refereed journal papers and reached a h-index of 18. She has also led 7 national and industrial projects and secured over 800K dollars funding.
