The Thematic Research Project proposal envisages the increase of cutting-edge knowledge and the training of highly qualified human resources in the area of Environmental Electrochemistry, more specifically in the development and application of Advanced Oxidative Electrochemical Processes (PEOA) and associated processes for the degradation of chemical compounds considered Emerging Pollutan…
This project aims at the application of nanostructured electrocatalysts such as anodes and cathodes of alkaline-acid direct glycerol fuel cells. The combination of the materials proposed for glycerol oxidation/hydrogen peroxide reduction have never been studied for such a purpose. The anodic reaction will be the oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium. The cathodic reaction will be the h…
The aim of this research project is the development and application of new materials in electrochemical processes (and associated) for the degradation of compounds with endocrine interference activity (endocrine disruptors), evaluating the efficiency of these processes and the identification of by-products of degradation. In addition, the project provides the development of electrochemica…
This project aims at the application of nanomaterials for two purposes: 1) Hydrogen peroxide Electrogeneration from oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), aiming to apply this product in Electrochemical Advanced Oxidative Processes (EAOPs) for the degradation of organic pollutants (dyes RB5, Sunset Yellow, Orange II, Ethion, Malathion, 17 alfa -ethinyl estradiol and Paracetamol) for the treatme…

1. Preparation of advanced materials and their application (materials with defined morphology) in H2O2 electrogeneration, initially preparing and characterizing. The preparation will involve the Bottom-up chemical method. The physicochemical characterization will be carried out with the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission microscopy (…
The increase in environmental disasters due to the spread of some impacts is one of humanity's main concerns. Fuel cells are energy alternatives that attract much attention, but developing highly efficient and selective catalysts is one of their significant limitations. Given this problem, this project aims to develop nanostructured catalysts to be applied as anodes and cathodes of direct…
This study focuses on synthesizing advanced, low-cost nanostructured materials, including those containing niobium, cerium, nickel, iron, and cobalt, for the electro-generation of H2O2. The preparation of these materials will employ methods such as hydrothermal, sol-gel, polymer precursor, solvothermal, and thermal decomposition. The physicochemical characterization will be conducted usin…

This project aims at the preparation, characterization and application of Fe nanooctahedra with Pd decoration as anodic materials and Au nanoparticles as cathode materials of direct glycerol alkaline-acid fuel cells (all materials supported in XC72 carbon). The oxidation of Glycerol in alkaline medium is the reaction at the anode of the cell. The reduction reaction of hydrogen peroxide in…
One of the classes of emerging contaminants that most concern the scientific community is endocrine disruptors. These compounds alter the endocrine system, impairing hormonal activities, being highly harmful to human health. Considering the need to reverse this situation in aqueous effluents, this work proposes the degradation and/or mineralization of bisphenol S, polyhalogenated diphenyl…
Environmental impacts, damage to health and depletion of non-renewable energy sources have motivated research in the area of energy, with the purpose of seeking alternatives to supply the energy demand needed, minimizing damages caused by currently used sources such as oil. With this, it is possible to apply devices such as fuel cells to provide energy in a clean and efficient way. This p…

Pesticides are a class of chemical compounds used extensively to control crop pests. The wide use of pesticides has resulted in a significant environmental buildup. The high water solubility of pesticides increases the risk of leaching, allowing these substances to infiltrate the soil and potentially contaminate underground water reservoirs. Additionally, rainfall may transport these chem…
Pharmaceutical wastes have become a major target among organic micropollutants improperly discharged into water bodies, mainly due to their negative impact on human health and aquatic ecosystems. Hence, these emerging pollutants need to be monitored and adequately managed to minimize their impact. Therefore, the main goal of this project is the investigation of the mineralization ability …
The scarcity of water and the constant contamination of water resources by different pollutants such as endocrine disruptors has become a global concern, since the conventional methods used for treating contaminated effluents have been shown to be inefficient in the degradation of endocrine disruptors, being detected in different bodies of water and in drinking water. This requires a lot …
This project aims to investigate the catalytical activity and selectivity of advanced carbon-based nanomaterials, functionalized with metallic oxides such as ceria, vanadium and niobium oxides, and hybrid materials such as core-shell tungsten oxide with gold nanoparticles, towards hydrogen peroxide electrogeneration for emerging pollutants degradation. The 2-electron oxygen reduction reac…
