Photocatalytic graphene membranes for solar desalination and hydrogen generation

The rapid increase in the world population causes the primary concerns of water and energy shortage. This lowers the quality of human well-being and consumes a large amount of money each year and yet comes to an end, leading to the urgent demand for usable water and renewable energy. To address these problems, this thesis provides research on the photocatalyst-doped graphene membranes for solar desalination and H2 generation. The critical challenge of salt accumulation in solar desalination has been experimentally explored by using photocatalytic reactions. Besides, the H2 production method at ambient conditions using photocatalyst-doped graphene membrane have been demonstrated.
