Defective BiOX structures for efficient photocatalytic NOx removal

Edificio DELTA aula 1B, Campus Scientifico via Torino, Mestre

Seminar with prof. Mohsen Padervand, Visiting Scholar at the Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems.

Meeting organized by Prof. Michela Signoretto

Abstract:
Air pollution is one of the most serious challenges for human beings. Nitric oxide (NO) is a common gaseous pollutant, which mainly originates from fossil fuels utilization and response to the formation of haze and photochemical smog. Trace-level nitrogen oxides can cause damage to the lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys, seriously hazarding the respiratory system and leading to adverse issues for human health. Therefore, the development of efficient and economical technologies to eliminate atmospheric NO has become a global concern. As photocatalysis is shown to be a potent and versatile tool to control the environmental pollution, bismuth oxyhalides with the layered structure could be a good option to abate the low concentration of NO in the atmosphere. Exploring the catalytic activity and as-related structural-morphological features of BiOX semiconducting materials to reach the highest efficiency are the major points of our talks in this presentation.
