Materials for Environment 1/3
Co-organized with University of Milan Chair: Claudia Letizia Maddalena BIANCHI, University of Milan
This session showcases a range of innovative research focused on enhancing environmental sustainability through the development of advanced materials and technologies. The studies cover various topics related to photocatalysis, energy purification, and sustainable agriculture. One presentation discusses the construction of TiO2-based composites to enhance the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, emphasizing how surface modification and composite formation can improve efficiency in environmental remediation. Another presentation provides an overview of micrometric semiconductor materials used in photocatalytic applications, focusing on the properties that enhance their effectiveness in solar energy conversion and contaminant degradation. The session also explores electrochemical innovations for hydrogen separation and purification from natural gas within distribution networks, highlighting efforts to improve air quality through more efficient and cleaner techniques. Lastly, a presentation examines the use of nutrient-modified superabsorbent polymers for vapor harvesting, turning surface enrichment into an opportunity for sustainable agriculture. Together, these studies offer a comprehensive perspective on new solutions to environmental challenges, promoting a cleaner and more sustainable future.
