Contract RO-HU no 21/2007
Title: Preparation and Characterization of Visible Light Activated Photocatalysts for Water and Air Decontamination
1.Preparation of highly efficient TiO2 based photocatalysts, both metal/nonmetal ion doped and undoped, for different substrates, by sol-gel method and flame-hydrolytic synthesis methods; 2.Morpho-structural characterization of the obtained photocatalysts by different techniques such as XRD, BET, TG-DTG-DTA, DRS, TEM, SEM, XPS, EXAFS/XANES; 3.Photocatalytic properties investigation of the obtained titania based photocatalysts, in liquid and phase phase, using different model organic compounds under UV-VIS and VIS irradiation; 4.Exchange of young researchers and students, both on the under- and postgraduate level; 5.Organization of a workshop for the research partners; 6.Submission of research papers.
