undefinedAccomplishments
During My First-Year Post-Doctoral Research time, we carried out the following main tasks and findings:
· Innovative carbon-encapsulated CeO2/Co/Co3O4 heterostructure with abundant oxygen vacancies derived from bimetallic-organic frameworks for efficient ozone decomposition.
· Enhanced Removal of Viral Aerosols using Nano silver/TiO2-Chitosan Filters Combined with a Negative Air Ionizer.
· Development of novel nanomaterials (Cu/Ag/TiO2) for the inactivation of viral aerosol in an indoor air environment. Therefore, these research activities improve the research capabilities and widen the research contribution of the academic institution. I am actively engaged in fulfilling these targets. Our research findings show remarkable performance for the catalytic decomposition of ozone and inactivation of viruses in an indoor environment. The outcome of our findings contributes to a sustainable solution for indoor air pollution control. We have published four original research papers in international reputable journals in 2023. I have listed it in the publications section.
During My Second-Year Post-Doctoral Research time, we carried out the following main tasks.
· Novel Tri-Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs)-derived metal oxides ternary composite for enhanced nitrogen reduction and inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms. We have published two original research papers in international reputable journals in 2024. I have listed it in the publications section. In addition, two articles are under revision process.
