Established in 2021, the laboratory initially focused on synthesizing porous materials from domestic waste and discarded chopsticks for CO<sub>2<\/sub> adsorption. These materials have shown strong potential for pre-combustion CO<sub>2<\/sub> capture in conventional power plants across a wide range of CO<sub>2<\/sub> concentrations. Currently, the laboratory\u2019s research has shifted toward the development of photocatalysts for precious metal recovery from industrial wastewater, as well as for green hydrogen production from pure water, wastewater, and seawater. In alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we aim to design and optimize advanced catalytic materials for sustainable energy production and environmental remediation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Research Themes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Green energy production<\/li>\n<li>Wastewater remediation<\/li>\n<li>Catalytic reaction and engineering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1789705451742{margin-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Selected Publications <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gebremariam, T.
