Research summary
AI-generated

Junxian Gao works on catalytic materials for environmental cleanup, particularly for breaking down air pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful gases. Much of the work combines light (solar or UV) with catalysts such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and related metal oxides to speed up chemical reactions that destroy pollutants, and also explores ozone-based and electrochemical treatment methods for water and air contaminants. The research blends materials chemistry, catalysis, and environmental engineering, often using nanostructured materials to improve reaction efficiency.

Publication output grew steadily from 2017 through a peak in 2022, then has continued at a somewhat lower but still active pace through 2025.
