CO2 Conversion and Circular Chemistry

The group performs experimental studies concerning environmental and energy-related catalysis and chemical processes, going from fundamentals to applied research. The main unifying topics of this broad area are: (1) The development of new processes that convert residual streams into chemicals, fuels and other products, considering a waste as a resource (2) The use of renewable energy sources. The research aims to understand the key parameters that control the reactivity and selectivity, following a rational design strategy to optimize catalysts. The dynamic evolution under reaction will be followed using operando and in-situ characterization techniques in order to facilitate the screening.
