Dr. Jamshaid Rashid leads the Environmental Nanotechnology research group at the Department of Environmental Sciences with research focus areas including:
  • Heterogeneous catalysis for environmental remediation
  • Nanomaterial synthesis and characterization
  • Photocatalysis for water and air decontamination
  • Electrocatalytic water splitting for H2 Production
  • H2 and CH4 production via catalytic pre-treatment of biomass
  • Adsorptive removal of organic and inorganic pollutants from wastewater  

The research focus of Catalysis for Environment and Energy Laboratory  is on development of novel, sunlight active and environmental friendly nanomaterial catalysts for advance wastewater treatment of toxic, recalcitrant and emerging contaminants in wastewater. Semiconductor materials and Metal oxide nanocomposites (e.g., InVO4/TiO2, Ag/ZnO, Fe3O4/Al2O3/TiO2, g-C3N4/CeO2/Fe3O4, etc.) as well as supported thin films are synthesized and evaluated for visible/sunlight photocatalytic treatment of  waste water. The nanomaterials are tailored to overcome catalyst agglomeration, post operation recovery and reuse with special focus on enhanced visible light activity by reducing the energy band gap and electron-hole pair (e-/h+) recombination.
