Professor Andrew Mills

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Dye and semiconductor photochemistry - in particular the use of semiconductors as photocatalysts in water and air purification and in selective organic oxidations; electrochemical sensor development for electroactive gases, such as hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine etc.; colourimetric and fluorimetric sensor development for gases of interest in clinical analysis (such as O2, CO2, NO and anaesthetic gases); design, synthesis, characterisation and mechanistic studies of new inorganic materials for catalysing redox reactions - including reactions involving hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine evolution; oxidative and reductive dissolution processes of inorganic materials; novel biphasic catalytic and photocatalytic systems for organic oxidation reactions.
