Abstract:
In recent years, people are seeking for green energy and better environment, which requires novel materials and technologies. Nannodiamond and metal-based quantum dots are receiving wide interests for catalytic reactions. In this seminar, I will present our latest research in using carbon and metal-based quantum dots for catalytic oxidation of toxic organics for water treatment and solar light photocatalytic water splitting to generate hydrogen and oxygen.
