Kanwar Inder Singh/ royalpatiala.in News/ May 4,2024
Dr. Rahul Badru, Head of the Chemistry Department at Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University ( SGGSWU), has achieved a significant milestone with the publication of his research in a prestigious scientific journal. His article titled “Tailored Carbon Nanomaterials for enhancing photocatalytic degradation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons” is published in journal Progress in Materials Science, with an impressive impact factor of 37.4. The journal is one of the top and leading journals in the domain of material science and chemistry. Dr. Badru said that the work is a collaborative effort carried out with Dr. Avtar Singh, Research Scientist at Research & Development, Molekule Group Inc., Tampa, USA along with other researchers from USA, Denmark and India.
Dr. Badru and his collaborators emphasized the importance of research in addressing environmental pollution, which is a significant concern worldwide. The article discusses how various carbon-based materials can effectively remove harmful chemicals like polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using light. PAHs pose a serious threat to both the environment and human health, making their removal a top priority. PAHs are a big problem because they can harm rising levels of PAHs in the environment are causing serious concern. Scientists are studying ways to clean up PAH pollution using different methods. One promising approach is using carbon materials like graphene, carbon nanotubes, and others mentioned, which can be effective in using light to break down PAHs. These carbon-based materials are seen as hopeful solutions for dealing with PAHs pollution.
Dr. Badru’s article serves as a valuable resource for researchers and industrialists interested in harnessing the capabilities of TCM for efficient and sustainable photocatalytic degradation of PAHs and other environmental pollutants, thus addressing the urgent need for effective environmental remediation and pollution control strategies. Furthermore, expanding beyond their central role in environmental applications, the article accentuates the advanced material attributes of TCM, shedding light on their versatility in biomedical and healthcare sectors, while also elucidating their crucial roles in advancing energy storage and conversion technologies, as well as in electronic applications. Dr. Badru and his collaborators demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental remediation through their research efforts highlighted in the article.
