Materials for Energy, Environment and Catalysis


The activity of the research group is included in one of the priority lines of INCAR in accordance with its PE2022-2025, such as the development of sustainable materials for use as electrodes and catalysts in different electrochemical systems. The group has extensive experience both in the design and production of materials with highly controlled physicochemical properties, as well as in the optimization of electrochemical devices (lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, dual-ion batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells , electrolyzers, sensors, etc.). The objective is to increase the performance and useful life of these devices, minimizing the environmental impact associated with their manufacture, use and recycling. Thus, we would contribute to one of the currently most relevant scientific challenges: sustainable mobility and renewable energy. That is englobed in the GLOBAL CHALLENGE A defined by the CSIC in its PE2022-2025.
