This study aims to enhance the efficiency of a “photoreforming” process that simultaneously achieves hydrogen production and waste valorization using photocatalysis. Optimization through conventional chemical approaches alone has limitations in addressing the diversity of waste materials, restricting overall process performance. To overcome this, the study proposes integrating agricultural approaches with photocatalytic reactions to establish a more efficient and environmentally harmonious process. Furthermore, by proposing design guidelines for such hybrid systems that combine agricultural and chemical methodologies, the research seeks to generate new insights into challenges previously difficult to address through chemistry alone, thereby contributing to the advancement of interdisciplinary research.
I aspire to be a researcher who goes beyond conventional frameworks, develops new interdisciplinary domains, and establishes my own research field.
