MXene-Based Photocatalysts

MXene-Based Photocatalysts: Fabrication and Application introduces readers to the fundamentals, preparation, microstructure characterization, and a variety of applications of MXene-based photocatalysts. It serves as a reference for MXene materials and provides an overview of current literature in advanced MXene materials and applications.

Prof. Zuzeng Qin obtained his bachelor degree and Ph. D. in Chemical Engineering and Technology at Guangxi University in 2000 and 2009, respectively,and worked as a postdoc at Sun Yat-Sen University from Aug. 2012 to Mar. 2015, and went to The University of Tennessee, Knoxville as a visiting scholar from Oct. 2015 to Oct. 2016. The present research interests of Prof. Qin are the environmental-friendly catalytic processes, synthesis/separation of fine chemicals, and 2D materials for environmental and energy. He is the Vice-dean of School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi University, and the editorial board member of Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials. Dr. Tongming Su obtained his Ph.D. in industrial catalysis from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi University, China in 2018. From Sept. 2016 to Mar. 2018, He conducted scientific research on MXene-based materials at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL) and The University of Tennessee, Knoxville as a Joint PhD student supported by China Scholarship Council. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi University, China. His research interests focus on the synthesis of MXene-based materials and their applications in catalysis, energy conversion, and environmental remediation. Prof. Hongbing Ji is from the School of Chemistry at Sun Yat-sen University. He is the winner of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, the young and middle-aged leader of science and technology innovation of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Distinguished Professor of the Pearl River Scholars of Guangdong Province, the Dean of the Fine Chemical Research Institute of Sun Yat-sen University, the Dean of the Huizhou Research Institute of Sun Yat-sen University, and the editorial board member of Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology and Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering.
