Scaiano, JuanNyokong, TebelloLanterna, Anabel2019-07-182019-07-182018-02http://hdl.handle.net/10625/57740The presentation provides an introduction to photochemistry and photophysical processes. Knowledge of wavelengths (colour of light) is fundamental. Fluorescence is elaborated upon as well as electron transfer. Photoctalysis and improving Photoredox Catalysis is the focus of the presentation. Solar (radiant) energy is key to renewable energy as well as the decontamination of water. If common water contaminants such as organic matter in river water can be used as ‘sacrificial electron donors’ (SEDs), then photocatalytic solar exposure could generate hydrogen while destroying pollutants, including bacterial water contaminants [see also http://hdl.handle.net/10625/58220]. Current research can be used and applied to develop smart photoactive materials.application/pdfenWATER POLLUTIONNANOTECHNOLOGYNANOSCIENCEHYDROGENSOLAR RADIATIONCHEMISTRYWATER QUALITYDRINKING WATERCANADANORTH AND CENTRAL AMERICAPresentation
