The main area of scientific interest is related to unraveling the correlations between the chemical composition, surface properties, microstructure, and reactivity of mixed metal oxide-based catalysts in the degradation of organic compounds through advanced oxidation processes. The scope of ongoing research is mainly concerned with the synthesis, characterization, and measurement of catalytic activity of new nanomaterials dedicated to the elimination of various pollutants from water (mainly antibiotics and organic dyes), as well as the selective production of high-value chemicals.
