- Additional information
- This output stems from a Royal Society-funded international collaboration between Manchester Metropolitan University, experts in thin film technologies, and Hubei University, China, with expertise in photocatalytic applications. The work utilises a state-of-the-art industrially-proven thin film manufacturing technique to produce a novel photocatalytic material with the necessary electronic band structure such that it does not require specialist UV lighting, as standard photocatalysts do, but can operate effectively in solar radiation. This represents a major step towards the successful implementation of photocatalytic thin films for a broad range of practical applications, such as solar-activated water treatment, pollutant remediation, chemical synthesis, etc.
