Composing Nanomaterials For Renewable Applications

Composing Nanomaterials For Renewable Applications

MIT assistant professor Julia Ortony has developed self-assembling nanofibers by mixing unorganized, tiny molecule powder with water. She used magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy to estimate the atomic movement and interactions within molecules. These nanomaterials could be used for water purification and the photocatalytic production of fuel. Moreover, Ortony’s research group is also working on nanofibers that can extract arsenic out of contaminated water. She hopes these economical nanofibers would be a good alternative for textile hubs like Bangladesh where arsenic-contaminated water poses a huge threat to large populations.
