Cel This project aims at developing new materials with tunable properties, conjugating good mechanical properties and photocatalytic activity. New and advanced materials will be synthesized on purpose, characterized and their efficiency as photocatalysts in abating pollutants such as pesticides and emerging pollutants will be evaluated.In the first stage, inorganic materials (TiO2, CNTs, graphene oxide) will be prepared and tested both in dispersed phase or added into a polymeric coating. For such aim, doped semiconductor oxides and carbon nanotubes (alone or combined with oxides) will be synthesized and tested. We also plan to conduct a detailed study of the charge transfer processes in the hetero-junctions to evaluate the factors providing the best performance of the hybrid materials. In addition, the efficiency of surface photochemical processes will be estimated in terms of the quantum yield of surface chemical transformation.In the second stage, preparation and characterization of new UV-cured polymeric materials containing at the same time CNTs or graphene and semiconductor oxides will be carried out, with the aim of exploring the synergistic/antagonist effect of the fillers in the photodegradative process followed by pollutants.For both stages, we plan on investigating the semiconductor properties of the inorganic material and its efficiency in the abatement of pollutants both when the catalyst is dispersed in water or when the target molecule is adsorbed on a polymeric film containing the catalyst dispersed into the network. The polymeric films will be employed for the degradation of pollutants in water or gas phases. In all cases, we will evaluate the initial degradation of the molecule, identify the transformation products and measure the toxicity of the system.Five multidisciplinary groups from Italy (University and Politecnico of Torino), Russia (University of Saint Petersburg), Spain (University of Madrid) and Canada (McGill University) are involved Dziedzina nauki natural scienceschemical sciencescatalysisphotocatalysisengineering and technologynanotechnologynano-materialstwo-dimensional nanostructuresgrapheneengineering and technologymaterials engineeringcoating and filmsnatural sciencesphysical scienceselectromagnetism and electronicssemiconductivity Program(-y) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Temat(-y) FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IRSES - Marie Curie Action "International Research Staff Exchange Scheme" Zaproszenie do składania wniosków FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IRSES Zobacz inne projekty w ramach tego zaproszenia System finansowania MC-IRSES - International research staff exchange scheme (IRSES) Koordynator UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI TORINO Wkład UE € 45 700,00 Adres VIA GIUSEPPE VERDI 8 10124 Torino Włochy Zobacz na mapie Region Nord-Ovest Piemonte Torino Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Paola Calza (Prof.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych Uczestnicy (2) Sortuj alfabetycznie Sortuj według wkładu UE Rozwiń wszystko Zwiń wszystko POLITECNICO DI TORINO Włochy Wkład UE € 28 200,00 Adres CORSO DUCA DEGLI ABRUZZI 24 10129 Torino Zobacz na mapie Region Nord-Ovest Piemonte Torino Rodzaj działalności Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Kontakt administracyjny Marco Sangermano (Prof.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych AGENCIA ESTATAL CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACIONES CIENTIFICAS Hiszpania Wkład UE € 33 500,00 Adres CALLE SERRANO 117 28006 Madrid Zobacz na mapie Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Rodzaj działalności Research Organisations Kontakt administracyjny Alberto Sereno Alvarez (Mr.) Linki Kontakt z organizacją Opens in new window Strona internetowa Opens in new window Koszt całkowity Brak danych
