Perovskite-metal-oxide-based advanced oxidation technology for water treatment application

Abstract

The development of cost-effective advanced technologies for water treatment and wastewater recycling is highly desirable to ensure the adequacy of clean water supply and safe discharge as well as prevent further worsening of water scarcity. In recent years, intense research has been devoted to develop advanced oxidation technologies (AOTs), which rely on the generation of reactive species to degrade a wide range of pollutants. However, the current AOTs often involved chemically and energetically intensive processes, which are undesirable to be integrated for a cost-effective, largescale system for water treatment and wastewater recycling. In this project, Strontium Ferrite (SrFeO 3-δ , SFO) based sub-micron sized particles
