      Development of functionalized and hybrid materials to capture toxic and radioactive species from contaminated water. The developed materials could capture and direct waste solidification using low and high-temperature sintering techniques. Such methods can be highly efficient in reducing carbon footprints, secondary waste volume generation, and facile and cost-effective.
