Catalysis and photocatalysis for energy production and environmental protection (PL KRAKOW26 - Position 1 of 2)
The research aims to the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity test of catalytic materials in the presence or absence of light (ultraviolet or solar) irradiation. Catalysts will be prepared by means of several approaches, will be tested in the oxidation of volatile organic compounds and in the production of hydrogen by water splitting, and will be characterized using various techniques as FTIR, RAMAN, UV-VIS DRS, TGA, DTA, surface area, TPR, XRD.
