Personal profile

My name is Dr-ILTAF KHAN from Pakistan and currently, I am working as a full-time associate professor at the School of Environmental and Chemical Engineering, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, P. R. China. Adding more, I got my Ph.D. degree from the International Joint Research Center and Lab for Catalytic Technology, Heilongjiang University, Harbin, China, and completed my post-doc at Beijing University of Aeronautics Astronautics. Moreover, my research direction is “The synthesis of novel and visible light active nanomaterials and its utilization for CO₂ conversion into useful products. Besides this, I had a straight A-grade in my academic career. Furthermore, I have also won two research projects funding including “The Beijing Postdoctoral International Exchange Funding Project and Beijing Postdoctoral Research Activities Funding. Besides these, I have published more than 40 research articles in good SCI journals with high impact factors, including Catalysis Science & Technology (IF 6.1), Environmental Research (6.5) Materials Research Bulletin (IF 4.6), Applied Catalysis B Environmental (IF 19.50), Chinese Journal of Catalysis (IF 8.2), Catalysis Today (IF 6.1) and so on.

Statement of Research Intent

Over the last few years, I had the chance to work on the synthesis of novel nanomaterials and their employment for CO₂ conversion and environmental remediation. The project was very fruitful so far and gave me the chance to work in this newly emerging field. I really enjoyed it, and it gave me many ideas for my future research plan. Impressed by this, we have designed a novel research project i.e. “Accelerating CO₂ photocatalytic reduction into useful products via visible-light active MOF-supported dual atom catalysts”.
