Research objectives

  Artificial photosynthesis, its principle begins with the transformation of the solar energy dwelling in the solar rays to chemical energy or convertible energy saving process. It is one of the key technology that could resolve the greatest problems of mankind, environmental, energetical and natural resources depletion issues. From water and solar rays, that is water splitting, can be created hydrogen considered as the fuel of the 21st century; produced massively because of the use of gasoline, CO2 reduction could become the keystone to synthesizing precious carbon containing compounds. Those two reactions could enable the production of fuel and compounds from either unlimited or undesired resources, as such they are considered as the epitome of photocatalysis. At the laboratory, we strive to develop either catalysts or photocatalysts which can be used for those reactions. We especially focus on either thin films made of semi-conductors oxide arranged at the molecular level and porous hybrid materials. Also, development of catalyst for green chemistry applications such as heterogenous catalysis, environmental purification and adsorbent is a priority. Focus on infra-red spectroscopy techniques is also important as it enables precise analysis of the catalyst properties.
