Based on our previous experience, we propose a step forward in materials science research with theformation of a multidisciplinary Center for the Development of Functional Materials (CDFM). This centerwill be an offshoot of the Multidisciplinary Center for the Development of Ceramic Materials (MCDCM)which received FAPESP support from the first version of the CEPID program. The core focus …

The purpose of this project is to study electrical and sensor properties based on CeO2 matrices decorated with p-n (CeO2/NiO) and n-n (CeO2/WO3) junctions. New advances are expected compared to the patent developed by our group (BR10201602838 - Brasil) for this matrix, which present a dual response (electro-optical and electrical). In this work, two preferred morphologies for the CeO2 mat…
There is a great demand for innovative materials with personalized properties, the challenge is to be capable to find them. At present, the goal of searching "nanomaterials by design" is a primary research field for obtaining new nanomaterials with certain physical-chemical properties that allow their technological applications. The focus of the present project is a theoretical-experiment…

In recent decades, population growth and industrial development have increased the production of pharmaceuticals, especially antibiotics, which has negatively impacted the environment. Antibiotics like sulfamethoxazole (SMX) are difficult to eliminate due to their chemical stability and persistence, often being excreted largely by the human body. Traditional wastewater treatment methods f…
In recent decades, real-time monitoring of environmental conditions has become crucial, boosting research in the area of sensor device development. Currently, ammonia and acetone emerge in this sector as targets of great importance in modern applications, as they are biological markers of kidney diseases and diabetes, becoming essential targets for sensing. Standing out in this context, g…
In recent years, semiconductors have been widely used in photocatalytic processes. Molybdenum-based compounds have attracted considerable attention due to their optical and structural properties. Nickel molybdate (NiMoO4) is considered a potential active catalyst for the treatment of industrial effluents. Zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4) has a remarkable anticorrosive capacity, making it a great c…

Population growth increases demand for services and products which contribute to the very expressive generation of effluents with environmental impactssignificant in water bodies. Technologies for water treatmentcontaminated with pollutants lack methods to inactivate these wastes,mainly dyes, antibiotics, pesticides and other substances that are alsoclassified as emerging organic pollutan…
Due to the constant and growing environmental pollution, the development of selective and sensitive gas sensors for toxic and flammable gases at low concentrations (under 50 ppm) and under various environmental conditions is of utmost importance. To achieve this goal, several researchers have been trying to enhance the properties of sensor materials through synthesis, morphological contro…
The reduction in the treatment of effluents that are effective for the treatment of emerging pollutants has been generating the accumulation of heavy metals, pesticides, dyes, antibiotics, among others that are dumped in water bodies. The amount of these wastes is proportional to the growth of urbanization and the industrial sector, therefore, the need to use cleaner technologies to minim…

The nanotechnology is considered a technological revolution in many areas of the society, but there are concerns regarding the destination of the compounds at the end of their life cycle. The semiconductors ZnWO4 e CuWO4 have potential to decontaminate persistent organic substances of the water, and these compounds may end up in aquatic ecosystems. Studies regarding the toxicity of these …
This proposal is divided in two complementary topics: the effects of femtosecond laser irradiation on the gas sensing properties of n- and p-type semiconductors, and heterostructures as a tool to minimize the interference of humidity on the sensing properties of chemoresistive gas sensors. Both femtosecond laser-modified nanostructures and heterostructures with different morphologies were…
The natural healing process involves various biological processes, but certain pathologies, such as type 2 diabetes, can hinder it, resulting in chronic wounds with reduced mobility and lower quality of life. Chronic wounds are characterized by persistent infections and inflammation, affecting cellular responses. Nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), show promise in prom…
The continuous search for cleaner fuels motivates the development of functional materials capable of transforming an unwanted compound into another. On this reasoning, nanomaterials can be adopted in the elaboration as catalysts, efficient and low cost. The oxidation of sulfides is extremely important for the petrochemical industry, because through it it is possible to control the degree …
The interaction of light with semiconductor materials forms the foundation of various technologies, with photocatalysis being a notable example. This technology has garnered increasing attention for its potential applications in green energy and environmental remediation. Understanding the electronic structure of semiconductors is crucial for a comprehensive grasp of the photocatalytic pr…
