NANOGAP’s full-solar-spectrum Metal Molecule photocatalysts are highly effective in water purification applications. Compared to competing technologies, NANOGAP’s photocatalysts are active under the full solar spectrum, not just the UV component, resulting in higher efficiencies from capturing most of the energy from the sun, our biggest energy source. In addition to light absorption efficiency improvements, the photodegradation mechanism is also more efficient than for conventional photocatalysts. Problematic contaminants that can be photocatalytically destroyed include organic compounds (dyes, petroleum hydrocarbons and phenolics), heavy metals (Cr, Pb, Hg), Pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, lipid regulators), pesticides and micro-organisms.
