Edson Roberto Leite is currently a Professor in the Chemistry Department at Federal University of São Carlos (in São Carlos, SP-Brazil). He received his BS and MS degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from Federal University of São Carlos in 1988 and 1990, respectively. In 1988, he was with the 3M of Brazil, where he engaged in the research and development of electronics and telecommunications products and received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Federal University of São Carlos in 1993. In January 1994, he joined Chemistry Department at Federal University of São Carlos. From 1998 to 1999, Edson was Visiting Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA. His current research interests include synthesis and growth process of inorganic nanoparticles by chemical approaches, materials characterization by electron microscopy, thermal stability of nanostructured materials and materials for photoelectrochemistry devices and solar water splitting. He has published more than 300 scientific papers and edited three books (related to materials for energy) and is co-author of one book (related to nucleation and growth process in nanocrystals). He also received several awards, including Scopus Prize for the remarkable scientific production from Elsevier /CAPES(2006) and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for the development of scientific research related to the thermal stability of ceramics nanosystem from John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (2009). In 2012, Edson was nominated Member of the Would Academy of Ceramics and Member of the Science Academy of the São Paulo State. In 2014, he was Co-Chair of the MRS Spring in San Francisco, CA.

The Microfabrication (MF) techniques have revolutionized various sectors of society in the last 50 years and are mainly associated with electronics and information technology. MF is also responsible for the development of new functional devices such as elements for controlled drugs delivery and biosensors, both extremely relevant to the pharmaceutical and medical products industries, and …
Based on our previous experience, we propose a step forward in materials science research with the formation of a multidisciplinary Center for the Development of Functional Materials (CDFM). This center will 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 foc…
Hematite (Fe2O3) is an important n-type semiconductor, with great potential as a photoanode to generate hydrogen from the water splitting and sunlight. The efficiency of this semiconductor depends greatly on its electronic conductivity and the presence of grain boundary can be a serious obstacle. In this proposal, we intend to identify the types of grain boundaries present in micro and na…
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (LTMD), have attracted much physical-chemical interest due to their two-dimensional layer structure, which is similar to graphene. However, this material tends to form fullerene-like nanoparticles or nanotube structures during processing. An efficient way to overcome this tendency and synthesize LTMD layers is to use the graphene as a substrate. In…
The Multidisciplinary Center for Development of Ceramic Materials (MCDCM) is being constructed by researchers of five different institutions: Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos (UFSCar), Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP/Araraquara), Universidade de Sao Paulo (USP/Sao Carlos), Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas (CBPF/CNPq) and Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares (IPEN/S…

The increasing demand for energy, foods, and medicines has encouraged the search for new materials. In this context, nanostructured materials have gained attention due to their unique properties in comparison with bulk counterparts. The comprehension of atom mobility under different processing and operating conditions is a topic that impacts different fields, such as catalysis and self-he…
Porous ceramics that exhibit porosity gradients are considered promising materials from the industrial point of view, especially to produce ceramic membranes and filters. The predominant processing route for these materials is the powder technology. This processing route usually results in a pore fraction due to the sintering limitation during the densification process, cost-benefit techn…
Self-assembly of inorganic nanomaterials can be highlighted as the next generation of nanoscience research related to nanoparticles. Whilst nanoparticles synthesis and applications still are extensively studied, self-assembly systems with strict 2D (superlattices) or 3D (supercrystals) structures controlled can present unique magnetic, electric or optic properties leading to new technolog…
In this project the development of a simple methodology will be proposed in order to exfoliate and functionalize, in a single-step, a colloidal dispersion of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) in a polybutadiene (PB) solution through sonication process. The advantage of such process dwells in colloidal stabilization of MoS2 in a non-polar solvent due to chemical bonds between À-electrons of carb…

The thermoelectric effects allow the direct conversion between thermal and electrical energy, providing an alternative for power generation and cooling. The semiconductor materials currently used for the construction of thermoelectric generators have a high cost. There is a need to discover newly accessible materials that can replace them. A viable option would be oxide materials, as they…
Semiconductor nanoparticles show size-dependent optical and electronic properties useful for several technological applications, like light-emitting, photovoltaic, and thermoelectric devices. Size- and shape-controlled semiconductor particles can lead to 1D (quantum wires), 2D (quantum wells), and 3D (quantum dots) nanocrystals with extremely tuning of their optical and electronic propert…
The development of synthetic composites with controlled composition, morphology and local texture is little explored due to the lack of processing routes. Two dimensional (2D) MoS2 is a great candidate to be part of complex materials and it is the lamellar transition metal dichalcogenide most studied in the world, owing to its superior mechanical properties. Recently, 2D-MoS2/polymer comp…
