Project: Synthesis of nanostructured iron phosphate materials and their application inelectrochemical and catalytic field

We established a platform tosynthesis different nano-structured iron phosphate materials through coupling Micro-reactiontechnology and hydrothermal treatment. Through adjusting the proportion ofnucleation and crystal growth, we can easily regulate size, morphology andstructure of obtained materials.

2. Application in electrochemical and catalytic field

We revealed the superiorelectrochemical property of amorphous FePO₄ nano-particles with high-power/energy-density and long-term stability. We also found the robustcatalytic property of iron hydroxyl phosphate dendrite andhierarchical iron hydrogen phosphate in the presence of H2O2,which can be used in waste water treatment and detection.
