During her PhD studies, Ronghui Lu researched photocatalysts for wastewater treatment and CO₂ conversion. Photocatalysis is a promising green technology for addressing major environmental challenges. Ronghui Lu studied layered double hydroxides (LDHs)-based photocatalysts and optimized their chemical and optical properties to enhance catalytic performance.

Her research contributes to the development of photocatalytic technologies for environmental applications, such as CO₂ conversion and wastewater purification. It also advances the understanding of the principles behind photocatalysis and how its efficiency can be improved.

The PhD study was completed at Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO), Faculty of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University.

This summary was prepared by the PhD student.
