Research Overview

This research area focuses on nanoparticle synthesis, nanofluid preparation and characterization, nanocomposite materials, metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives, and photocatalytic materials for thermal, energy, and environmental applications.

Using chemical co-precipitation, ultrasonic atomization, spray drying, and CVD carbon coating, we have successfully prepared magnetic nanofluids of varying particle sizes, MOF-derived energy storage materials, and BiVO₄-based heterojunction photocatalysts (such as BiVO₄/Bi₂WO₆, BiVO₄/InVO₄, and Bi₂O₃/BiVO₄).

Research outcomes span nanofluid heat transfer enhancement mechanisms, wettability control of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanostructured surfaces, Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst design, and photocatalytic applications in organic pollutant degradation (Rhodamine B, antibiotics) and E. coli inactivation.
