Our team conducts scientific research focused mainly on the area of photocatalysis, which is a combination of photochemistry and catalysis. It can be defined as a natural phenomenon using a semiconductor called photocatalyst, the most commonly used being dioxide Of Titanium (TiO 2) and products derived from it. We are dedicated to heterogeneous photocatalysis, which consists of the generation of an electron-hole pair in the semiconductor particles that accelerates the reaction rate. In addition, it has the catalyst in a different phase of the reagents, making this its main difference compared to the homogeneous photocatalysis. During the process, reactions of both oxidation and reduction occur, thus promoting the elimination of the major part of the organic pollutants.
