Department of Environmental Nano-materials

　　Department of Environmental Nano-materials is a newly established research department under the RCEES’s Knowledge Innovation System. This department is aiming to link the national outstanding researchers and carry out the national research in environmental nanomaterials.
　　The mission of research department is:
　　1. to conduct fundamental and applied research in environmental nanomaterials;
　　2. to develop innovative nano technologies for environmental remediation and protections;
　　3. to provide the national level research training in Eco-materials and environmental protection;
　　4. to establish strong linkages with leading international research groups, and advance RCEES as the first-class research institute in this field.

　　The department research programs focus on:
　　(1) Environmental nanomaterials: The novel synthesis, characterization and applications of environmental nanomaterials, such as nanoporous and nanocomposite materials, zeolite and pillared clays. Such nanomaterials possess improved properties and unique functionalities and can be used as ideal adsorbents, catalysts and sensors.
　　(2) Environmental nano-technologies: high techniques for removal and control of environmental pollutants from different anthropological activities, economic technologies of emission reduction for greenhouse gas, and green utilization of some reusable resources such as solid waste and bio waste.
　　(3) Environmental effects and health care: environmental effects of nano particles and nano-materials, biomaterials and clean industrial production.

　　The current research topics include, Eco-materials and control technology, Solid waste reuse and nanomaterials, Characterization and detection of nanomaterials, Environmental effects of nanomaterials.

　　The establishment of this research department is to lead and catalyze the comprehensive research in nano materials and nano-technologies for the environmental applications in RCEES, CAS. Now we are warmly inviting researchers and students to join us who have the solid background and relevant skills, and plan to build your research career in the environmental nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.
