Metal Sulfide Nanomaterials for Environmental Applications

Peter R. Makgwane is currently a Full Professor at the University of South Africa (UNISA) Institute of Catalysis and Energy Solutions (ICES). He previously worked as a Principal Scientist (2011-2023) at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR, South Africa), focusing on catalysis and advanced energy materials. He is a prominent scholar in heterogeneous photocatalysis and electrocatalysis with extensive publications of articles, including six books with major publishers, Elsevier, CRC Press, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley, on advanced materials design and catalytic processes for sustainable energy, renewable chemicals, and environmental catalysis.Dr. Naveen Kumar has 18 years of research experience and is currently working as Associate Professor in Department of Chemistry, Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, India, while holding other academic positions in the same institute. He is actively engaged in the field of material chemistry, with photocatalysis and luminescent materials as the focus of his research activities. He has published more than 55 articles in journals of high repute. At the Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, he also participated in an international research project, Development of a new generation CIGS-based solar cells [NANICIS-269279], in 2013 and 2014. He has been appointed as a reviewer for various reputed journals and was invited as guest editor by MPDI Catalyst (2021) for an issue on nanocatalysis and photocatalysis. He has presented research papers at national and international conferences and delivered lectures at various institutes. He is presently also working as a book editor for both Elsevier and CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group.
