Nanomaterial transforms waste into a solar solution to decontaminate water and produce hydrogen
Researchers from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) have developed a nanomaterial capable of integrating water treatment and hydrogen production into a single process driven by sunlight. Produced from steel industry waste and seashells, the technology combines hydroxyapatite (HAp) and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) in a photocatalytic heterojunction. In experiments, the material degraded approximately 75% of the methylen
