| 1 | Webinar: Technical Talk for Journey in Photosplitting of Water Dr. Chong Fai Kait, Associate Professor, UTP 28th October 2020, 3.00PM-4.30PM Totally 118 participants including staff and students joined this webinar which was delivered by Dr Chong Fai Kait, Associate Professor from UTP. Dr Chong presented her research journey on photosplitting of water to audients. Hydrogen is a potential energy carrier for the future which can be produced via steam reforming, electrolysis, solar thermochemical, photobiological, photocatalysis and other methods. The pioneering work by Fujishima and Honda in the early 1970s showed the possibility of producing H2 from water using sunlight. The research started by embarking on synthesizing Cu/TiO2 photocatalyst. The photocatalysts were synthesized based on Degussa P25 TiO2 at the initial stage but at later stage Sr2Ta2O7 was also investigated. In order to obtain deeper understanding on the morphological, optical and chemical properties of the photocatalysts, characterization was conducted using various techniques such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy (DR-UV-Vis) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic activity of supported metallic photocatalysts was assessed for hydrogen production from water under visible light illumination. Throughout the journey, the research parameters investigated include types of co-catalyst, total metal loading and the effect from the presence of non-metal. The impact of methanol, glycerol and KOH addition as hole-scavengers on the efficiency of solar hydrogen production from water was also investigated. SPEAKER: Dr Chong Fai Kait is an Associate Professor at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. She graduated with B.Sc. (Hons) in Industrial Chemistry from Universiti Putra Malaysia in 1993, specializing in synthesis, characterization and application of copper(II)-glycerol complex. In 1998, she received her PhD from University of Dundee, Scotland in the area of heterogeneous catalysis for naphtha reforming process employing Pt-Re/Al2O3 catalyst. She has more than 20 years of academic and research experience and her main research interests are in photocatalysis and its integration with ionic liquids or other techniques for sustainable environmental applications. She is currently working on deep eutectic ionic liquids employed as extractant and electrolyte where glycerol is one of the precursor for synthesis. Her work was mainly dedicated to wastewater treatment and air pollution control. She has filed a total of 9 patents in Malaysia related to photocatalysis, of which two were granted. |
