Hydro Nation scholar co-authors book chapter

A book containing a chapter co-authored by Hydro Nation Scholar Victoria Porley and her principal supervisor Prof. Neil Robertson has recently been published. The book, entitled “Nanostructured Photocatalysts”, covers a wide range of topics including materials development and the applications of photocatalysts (semiconductor materials which facilitate chemical reactions when illuminated) to solar fuels and environmental remediation, particularly with regards to water treatment. The chapter written by Victoria Porley, “Substrate and support materials for photocatalysis”, explores how immobilising photocatalysts onto solid supports can make the use of this technology in water treatment much more practically feasible and accessible, by covering which support materials are typically used and the appropriate chemical and/or physical processing methods that are associated with these.
