Caue Ribeiro received his PhD in Physical Chemistry from the Federal University of Sao Carlos in 2005. After a period in the private sector, he joined the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) as Senior Researcher in 2007. He supervises PhD Thesis and MSc Dissertations in Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar, Chemistry Program) and Sao Paulo University (USP, Chemistry Institute). He was the coordinator (2013-2024) of Agronano Network -- a research network for nanotechnologic applications in agriculture, involving about 150 researchers in Brazil and abroad (https://www.embrapa.br/nano), and of the Nanotechnology Project Portfolio of Embrapa (2018-2024). His primary research interests include the development of synthesis routes for nanoparticles, applications in catalysis and in the slow/controlled release of inputs in agriculture.

Sludges from water treatment plants - WTPs - have characteristics that make their disposal a challenge. The composition variability, the low content of organic matter and, mainly, the high content of aluminum salts considerably limit its direct application in agricultural soils. This strategy is a solution already studied for sludge from sewage treatment plants (STPs), which have a higher…
As a part of the New Energies Research Center (NERC), a joint initiative from FAPESP and Shell, this Research Division 3 - Methane to Products (RD3) is built to grow as a world-class scientific center for research on advanced technologies for methane conversion to high-value products. In this context, RD3 addresses potentially disruptive technologies to tackle methane conversion beyond tr…
In 20 years we are expected to reach the Natural Gas Golden Age, when methane will play a leading role as primary industrial feedstock. Hence, this proposal aims to develop fundamental and applied knowledge for the catalytic conversion of CH4 by oxidative routes, as well as the utilization of CO2 a greenhouse gas present in natural gas (and also by product of methane reforming). It is pro…
People welfare and technological progress are generally dependent on the development of novel energy production routes, environmentally-friendly and capable to reduce the impact of other human activities. Among the alternatives, there are the strategies to reform greenhouse gases producing organic molecules, also called as artificial photosynthesis. However, studies are still necessary to…
Water contamination by organic recalcitrant compounds as commercial dyes and pesticides is still demanding novel methods and materials for their degradation and consequently water reuse. Among the main materials for that, heterostructures composed by different semiconductor oxide nanoparticles have been studied due their high activity as photocatalysts. However, the mechanisms involved in…
Sludge from water treatment stations - WTP - has characteristics that make its destination a challenge. The variability of composition, the low content of organic matter and, especially, the high content of aluminum salts considerably limit its direct application on agricultural soils, being a solution already studied for sludge from sewage treatment plants (STPs), which have higher organ…
The objective of this project will be to define a fungal and/or bacterial isolate suitable for incorporation into the solid formulations produced. Microorganisms with potential agronomic use (confirmed or expected) as biological control agents, plant growth promoters and phosphate mineral solubilizers that meet the expectations of this proposal will be identified. Priority will be given t…
The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily driven by CO2 emissions, poses an urgent global challenge. In this context, the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (CO2RR) emerges as a promising technology to mitigate this problem by converting CO2 into value-added chemicals. However, the low solubility of CO2 in water and the competition with hydrogen evolution…

The process of reducing CO2 with photocatalysts has been a subject of research, with promising materials such as Cu2O already being investigated. Although the reduction process utilizing water oxidation as an associated oxidative process is well known, its primary limitation lies in the interaction of CO2 with photocatalysts, as the solubility of CO2 in water is very low, leading to the e…
The global demand for agricultural products is increasing due to the growing population and the challenge of feeding it. To deal with food shortages, fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides are employed to produce high-yield crops. However, concerns about sustainability and safety have emerged with the use of these products. A proposed ecological solution is the administration (inoculat…

In an era where society is intrinsically dependent on fossil stocks for energy and chemicals, and at the same time, the excessive usage of these resources brings severe global changes as consequences, the decarbonization of energy becomes imminent. Technologies to harness energy from renewable sources are essential for this energetic matrix change. Among them, the sustainable transformati…
The increasing reliance on non-renewable energy sources has led to heightened atmospheric CO2 levels, contributing to climate change and ocean acidification. This project aims to develop a highly efficient and sustainable biphasic supercritical CO2-water system for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, leveraging the unique properties of supercritical CO2 and water to enhance solubility an…
The utilization of CO2 as a means to mitigate greenhouse gas concentrations is a viable strategy, prompting exploration into nanotechnologies and their applications in CO2 reduction reactions. In this context, this proposal abroad aims to develop Cu-based SnO2 nanowires (NWs) and implement them in a simulated "day-and-night" uninterrupted system for CO2 hydrogenation. Previous results ind…
Due to the high consumption of fossil fuels, many technologies have been developed to improve the transformation of gases such as CO2 and CH4, trying to reduce the greenhouse effect caused by them and, at the same time, profiting from the formed products. Electrochemical systems have an enormous potential to transform CO2 and CH4 into various chemicals, adaptable due to the different type…
Molecular hydrogen is an alternative to fossil fuels due to it is eco-friendly and presents high energy density. The "green hydrogen" route can be achieved through the water splitting by a photoelectrochemical (PEC) reaction powered by sunlight. PEC devices can be designed with two separated compartments; the water reduction occurs in the cathodic side to form H2, while at the same time t…
Global warming and wastes disposal are among the main environmental concern that we face today. Livestock (especially cattle) and diverse agro-industrial wastes can generate and, therefore, release large tones of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere per year. After carbon dioxide, methane is regarded as the second most important greenhouse gas in terms of impact on the climate. …
