3.1—Electro-Photocatalysis for Efficient Decomposition of Toxic Gases into Hydrogen and Solid Residues

This platform uses electro-photocatalysis and hot-carrier chemistry to decompose harmful gases under visible light. It converts pollutants like hydrogen sulfide into clean hydrogen and stable solid residues without external heating. The result is a low-energy, scalable approach to gas-phase environmental remediation. Target applications include industrial emissions control, chemical manufacturing and distributed hydrogen generation.
