Joint research with the National Institute of Technology, Niihama College establishes a photocatalyst design that achieves high reactivity: foundational technology for decomposing persistent organic compounds

Through joint research with National Institute of Technology, Niihama College, we established a structural design for an iron oxide photocatalyst that enhances reactivity by combining oxidizing and reducing capabilities. We will pursue validation under real-world conditions and examine commercialization, with the aim of applying the technology to water treatment for persistent organic compounds and PFAS.
