The environmental problems caused by organic pollutants are becoming more and more serious all over the world. The interests of our group are focused on the novel approaches for the photodegradation of environmental pollutants, photochemical cycling of iron species and the relative environmental photochemical processes, novel photochemical approaches for the detection of trace hazardous compounds, and photocatalytic selective oxidation of organic compounds. We have published over 400 papers in well-known international journals, such as J. Am. Chem. Soc., Environ. Sci. Technol., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., and have more than 30000 citations by others. We have been awarded with several prizes such as the Second Grade National Prize of Natural Science of China , the Japanese Photochemistry Association Lectureship Award for Asian and Oceanian Photochemist (2010) and the Award of Excellent Young Scientists of Chinese Academy of Sciences- Bayer. Team members include 9 professors, 1associate professors, 6 postdoctors and 48 graduate students.
