Nano- material could be used for energy conservation
25 August 2010Professor Steven Suib, Chemistry Department, UConn has recently come out with a novel method that could be useful for energy conservation. The nano-size crystalline material could be used a s a catalyst in alternate fuel development.Â
The cover story on the basic science research will be published in the September issue of the journal “Small†a nanotechnology journal. The nanomaterial developed by the Professor will be much smaller by so far and will consists of two materials. One material will be a template on which the well-ordered arrays of the nanomaterial are grown.Â
The growth on the template can be controlled by various techniques and it uses solar energy and splitting of water into its components i.e. hydrogen and oxygen can be achieved. The material is very useful in solar applications and it can be directly applied to the surface, which acts as catalyst for photocatalysis, a photoreaction in the presence of the catalyst.
