About this Research Topic
The renewal and optimization of catalytic and membrane materials are effective ways to improve the treatment efficiency of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for water treatment. We welcome submissions to this research topic, including original and innovative manuscripts on novel catalytic and membrane materials, such as carbon-based catalysts, metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts, and membrane-based catalysts in advanced oxidation techniques for water treatment.
Novel Carbon-based Semiconductors for Photocatalytic Treatment of Organic Wastewater: Traditional methods are inefficient in treating complex organic pollutants. Carbon-based semiconductors, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, show promise in enhancing photocatalytic activity by expanding light absorption and improving charge separation efficiency. Recent progress includes doping carbon materials to increase photocatalytic performance. Metal-Organic Framework (MOF)-based Materials for Water Treatment: MOFs are emerging as highly selective and efficient materials for removing pollutants like heavy metals and organic compounds. Their high surface area and tunable pore structure enable enhanced adsorption and catalytic applications. Research is progressing in MOF composites for improved photocatalytic and electrocatalytic performance. Advanced Oxidation Technology for Water Treatment Using Membrane Materials: Combining membrane filtration with advanced oxidation processes addresses membrane fouling and enhances pollutant degradation. Recent developments include photocatalytic membranes with self-cleaning properties and nanostructured membranes that integrate oxidation catalysis for improved water purification efficiency.
