Green chemistry and catalysis


The GCC group is dedicated to the research of heterogeneous catalysts for their application in chemical reactions using renewable materials such as biomass wastes or carbon dioxide to obtain fuels or materials. To this end, the group studies the synthesis of catalysts and their behaviour in liquid or gas phase reactions. GCC also studies the synthesis of magnetic materials and its use in magnetothermal catalysis. This is expected to improve the energy efficiency of the processes by reducing energy consumption and heating time.
