Project title, type and project number
Scientific project entitled “Nanoengineering of thin layers of semiconductor photocatalysts in a microreactor environment for lignin-based model compounds valorization”. Project number: SONATA BIS 5 nr 2015/18/E/ST5/00306
Project leader
dr. hab. Inż. Juan Carlos Colmenares, prof. IPC PAS
Description
The goal of this project is the synthesis of novel multicomponent nanophotocatalytic thin layers supported on the internal walls of a fluidic microreactor, the study of their activity in the selective photo-oxidation of lignin-based model molecules and the correlation of their performances with the composition, surface morphology and distribution of the active sites.
