The research line is at the interface of electrochemistry, nanotechnology, water treatment and chemistry, focused on the development of nanostructured electrode materials to achieve energy-efficient removal of persistent pollutants from water, and recovery of valuable resources. The long-term goal is developing cost-effective, safe, chemical-free, and sustainable water treatment technologies that are efficient in eliminating persistent, toxic and carcinogenic chemicals from our water cycle, and recovering critical raw materials and other resources from secondary sources.
