Biography:
Andraž Šuligoj is working in the field of applied photocatalysis. He started with the development of highly UV-active films on metal substrates (Fe, Al) for which he developed a silica protective layer, which was later patented. He then switched to designing novel systems combining TiO2 anatase and mesoporous silica for air cleaning applications. Lately, he is focused on designing solar light-active TiO2 by employing green and facile incipient wet impregnation, resulting in the surface modification of TiO2, giving rise to novel hetero-junctions. Thus he is studying the structure-activity relationship, with the focus on nano-clusters deposited on the anatase surface.
