Photocatalytically reactive surfaces for simultaneous water harvesting and treatment
R. Ghosh, A. Baut, et al.
This innovative research conducted by Ritwick Ghosh, Adrien Baut, Giorgio Belleri, Michael Kappl, Hans-Jürgen Butt, and Thomas M. Schutzius unveils a cutting-edge system that captures fog and cleans organic pollutants simultaneously. Utilizing sunlight-activated TiO2 nanoparticles on a specialized wire mesh, this solution not only addresses water scarcity but does so without requiring energy. Discover how outdoor tests reveal impressive water treatment efficiencies exceeding 85%.
