The expected outcomes of this program are a new class of photocatalyst systems for converting waste products into valuable chemicals using solar energy. Using advanced materials and photocatalysis, the project aims to develop a new class of bi-functional photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems for application in waste brine treatment and valuable chemical generation. The key concept lies in the innovative design of layered semiconductors as efficient and stable photocatalysts and their integration into PEC reaction systems for simultaneous solar hydrogen and valuable chemicals (eg bromine) generation from brine. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of the photocatalytic water-splitting concept to other waste product splitting.

该项目的预期成果是利用太阳能将废物转化为有价值的化学品的新型光催化剂系统，该项目旨在开发新型双功能光电化学（PEC）系统。废盐水处理和有价值的化学品生产的关键概念在于层状半导体作为高效、稳定的光催化剂的创新设计，并将其集成到 PEC 反应系统中，以同时从盐水中产生太阳能氢气和有价值的化学品（例如溴）。该项目旨在增进对光催化水分解概念对其他废物分解的基本理解。
