Abstract

The objective of this project is to carry out a short-term research internship at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique - Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications (INRS-EMT) of the Université du Québec (Canada) to follow the processes of synthesis of new photoeletrocatalytic materials and the construction and dimensioning of a bench photoreator for the previous evaluation of the electrochemical materials produced in the application in processes of electrochemical / photoelectrochemical degradation of organic compounds acting as endocrine disruptors.
