Brief Statement of research work

This research program is focused on the rational design of advanced metal oxide composites, integrated with polymers and carbon nanomaterials, for photocatalytic water purification. Over the past decade, systematic advances have been achieved through the development of efficient ternary composites, the engineering of polymer/metal oxide hybrids to enhance charge separation, and the innovation of sustainable bio-based matrices.
