Green Development and Progress in Environment Purification Materials

In the twenty-first century, a model of human development is green development. Under the framework for green development, the photocatalysis as a typical advanced oxidation technology becomes a most important development direction for the environmental purification. In this article, we firstly introduce the definition of green development and the challenges of developing the environmental purification materi- als under the framework for green development. Secondly, we summarize the research advancement of the environmental purification materials in our group, including the development of novel photocatalytic materi- als and the effect of porous mirostructure on the photocatalytic performance of photocatalytic materials.
