Harnessing Cerium: Smart Rare Earth Catalysts for Solar-Driven Abatement of Toluene in Industrial Effluents
Principal Investigators & Key Members:
Kumar Vikrant, PhD
This project will develop a solar-powered technology to destroy harmful airborne pollutants in Vietnam, using both sunlight and solar heat for high energy efficiency. Using cerium—an abundant local resource —we will create advanced catalysts and apply AI to design smart air-purification systems tailored to industrial conditions. Our goal is to improve Vietnam’s air quality and public health through a sustainable, home-grown technology.
