The project consists of studying the electronic, structural and sensor properties of cerium oxide (CeO2)-based matrices doped with vanadium (V). For this purpose, it is proposed that research activities combining computational modeling and simulation with experimental approaches be developed. The main objective is to investigate the influence of different types of atomic-scale defects on …
The synergy between experiment and theory is intrinsic to the progress and development of technology, as is the particular case of material sciences. The increase in this synergy can minimize costs and time in research and experiments on new materials, as well as enhance their properties or even make them multifunctional. In this sense, computational simulation via electronic structure me…
The purpose of this investment plan is to support research projects of FC, Unesp, Bauru (AU)
The modeling and computational simulation applied to materials science and technology and executed from electronic structure methods have assumed an important role not only in the aid of information and interpretations obtained from experimental research, but also on the possibility of rationally predicting the properties of materials, which has contributed to guide possible paths for app…

In contrast to fossil fuels, hydrogen (H2) is a sustainable and renewable alternative in the battle against climate change and can provide clean energy for different platforms, such as automobiles, batteries, and supercapacitors. One of the biggest challenges is the H2 storage, which has different properties depending on the structure and technique used. Due to their advantageous large su…
Gas sensors have been the focus of interest due to their application in industry, environmental monitoring, space exploration, biomedicine, and the control of global warming. The basis of gas detection is adsorption, so increasing the contact area between the sensor material and the gas improves sensitivity and detection. In this sense, two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candida…
Due to the high interest in the development of new two-dimensional (2D) materials, computer simulation can be used to obtain and predict nanostructures with unique properties, assisting experimentalists in future synthesis routes and the industry by providing innovative commercial materials. In light of this, this project aims, in unprecedently study, uses the density functional theory (D…
Knowledge about nanoparticle morphology control mechanisms includes the characteristics of different surfaces of a given crystalline system, which have different electronic and structural properties and, therefore, are responsible for determining their possible applications. In this sense, the purpose of this project is the computational modeling and simulation via density functional theo…
The present project aims to study the structural and electronic properties of the porous silicon carbide (PSiC) monolayer applying Density Functional Theory (DFT) for periodic methods, in order to investigate its possible applicability as anode material in lithium-sodium batteries. SiC monolayers will be generated with a structure analogous to graphenylene (GP), which has attracted great …
