Webinar recording: Electrospun membranes for photocatalytic applications
We will present here the photocatalytic activity of different polyacrylonitrile membranes containing photocatalytic nanoparticles. These hybrid membranes will be tested in different photocatalytic membrane reactors towards the degradation of pollutants in water as well as the conversion of CO2 to useful chemicals.
About speaker:
Dr. Mathieu Grandcolas is research scientist focused on nanomaterials development and functional materials. His background is related to the synthesis and shaping of nanostructures as photocatalysts for environmental remediation. Also, he has gained experience in the deposition of nano‑objects as thin films and membranes, the growth of structured metal oxides layers and the functionalization at a nano‑level.
