MOFs are porous clusters of metal polymers that are used in many practical applications.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed oembed oembed-video d-flex flex-column align-items-center\">\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><noscript><iframe title=\"Using Nanoscience to purify toxins in water\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DXddTz_UMRI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><iframe title=\"Using Nanoscience to purify toxins in water\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DXddTz_UMRI?feature=oembed\" class=\" lazyload\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The 麻豆原创 student team includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/environmental-engineering-phd\/\">environmental engineering doctoral<\/a> student Samuel Adjei-Nimoh, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/materials-science-and-engineering-msms\/\">materials science and engineering doctoral<\/a> student Nimanyu Joshi, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/environmental-engineering-bsve\/\">environmental engineering undergraduate<\/a> students Jennifer Hughes and Julia Going. The principal investigator of the grant is Associate Professor of Environmental Engineering Woo Hyoung Lee, and the co-principal investigator is Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Yang Yang.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMOFs have been used as a catalyst for many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/research\/\">research<\/a> areas such as hydrogen storage, carbon capture, electrocatalysis, biological imaging and sensing, semiconductors and drug delivery systems,\u201d Lee says. \u201cIn this project, we\u2019re using the gold-decorated nickel MOF as a photocatalyst to remove water pollutants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gold will be coated in an MOF, which will help it react to the sunlight. That reaction, known as photocatalysis, will result in the oxidation of the microcystins, removing them from the water.<\/p>\n<p>Microcystins are the most common cyanotoxins linked to harmful algal blooms in freshwater environments, notably in regions such as Florida with abundant lakes. They\u2019re known to cause liver damage, kidney failure, gastroenteritis and allergic reactions in humans. With the 麻豆原创 team\u2019s novel solution, water treatment facilities can produce cleaner, safer drinking water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Clean drinking water isn&#8217;t just a necessity, it&#8217;s a fundamental right, especially for Floridians who rely on our abundant lakes and waterways,\u201d Lee says. \u201cBy leveraging the innovative nanotechnology for water treatment,&nbsp; we&#8217;re not only removing toxins but also safeguarding the health and well-being of our communities, ensuring a brighter, healthier future for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is Lee\u2019s second consecutive year receiving the P3 award. In 2023, his team was selected for their work on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-students-receive-25000-epa-grant-to-develop-toxin-biosensor-for-drinking-water\/\">biosensor that could detect microcystins<\/a> early in their formation for faster eradication.<\/p>\n<p>This is the 20th anniversary of the P3 program. Projects funded this year will tackle critical issues such as removing PFAS from water, combating harmful algal blooms, and materials recovery and reuse, says Chris Frey, assistant administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&#8217;s Office of Research and Development, in a release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI commend these hardworking and creative students and look forward to seeing the results of their innovative projects that are addressing some of our thorniest sustainability and environmental challenges,\u201d&nbsp;Frey says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Researchers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lee is an associate professor in the 麻豆原创 Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering. He received his bachelor&#8217;s degree in environmental engineering from Chonnam National University in 1996, his master&#8217;s degree in environmental engineering from Korea University in 2001 and his doctoral degree in environmental engineering from the University of Cincinnati in 2009. Before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/faculty\/\">joining 麻豆原创<\/a>, he was an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education postdoctoral research fellow at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency&#8217;s National Risk Management Research Laboratory in Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>Yang holds joint appointments in 麻豆原创\u2019s NanoScience Technology Center and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, which is part of the university\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/engineering-computer-science\/\">College of Engineering and Computer Science<\/a>.
