Piezocatalysts

Development and Application of Piezocatalytic Nanoheterostructures to Reduce the Chemical Demand and Energy in Water Treatment (Funded by NSF Environmental Engineering Program, 2014-2018)

This work aims to convert abundant yet under utilized waste mechanical vibration in water treatment into usable chemical energy for contaminant degradation. Our work centers on two main tasks: (1) design, fabricate, and optimize the performance of piezocatalytic nanoheterostructures; and (2) demonstration their versatile application in pollutant oxidation, disinfection, biofouling control, and chemically reactive filtration.
