Much of the energy consumed in the world is derived directly or indirectly from the burning of carbon-based fossil fuels, which is also the ran material for an extensive chain of products. The burning of carbon-based fossil fuels is directly linked with the increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is one the sources that contribute to the global warning along with CH4. The…
This project addresses the development and investigation of both electrolyte and electrode components for energy storage applications. Molecular dynamics and DFT techniques are a powerful method for the development and study of new materials. Three distinct topics are proposed: one focuses on improving properties of electrolyte, as ionic liquids or aqueous electrolytes, by altering the co…
Supercapacitors are now a priority in the search for efficient ways of storing energy. In this project we propose the investigation of means to increase the efficiency of supercapacitors as well as to extend their horizon of applications. By using of computational simulation techniques of molecular dynamics we will cover three topics related to the storage of electrochemical energy in ele…
Nanotechnology and energy are priority areas in the National Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation. The development of new nanostructured or environmentally efficient materials is crucial to the development of these two areas. This project aims to study and development of energetic materials or energy conversion materials aiming to contribute to the development of nanotechnology…

The storage of energy in electrochemical devices crucially depends on the characteristics of the electrolytes used in their manufacture. Recently a new class of electrolytes has been considered for use in batteries and supercapacitors. Such electrolytes involve a salt superconcentration in water, which reverses the conventional proposal in the sense that it is no longer the salts that are…
In this project we will employ molecular dynamics simulations to describe, at atomistic resolution, the non-covalent functionalization of ultrashort carbon nanotubes antimicrobial peptides. As amino acids have a wide range of properties, such as hydrophobic character, aromatic surface area and propensity for secondary structures, they offer a unique perspective for functionalization of ca…
Among the various types of existing nanotubes, those based on peptides has attracted wide attention of the scientific community, since the peptide segments have high potential for self-assembly, and allows the addition of specific features in certain positions of the nanotube favoring their high biocompatibility. In this sense, the intrinsic ability to self-assembly presented by some pept…
This project explores deep eutectic electrolytes (DEEs) and water-based eutectic electrolytes for electrochemical energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors. Using molecular dynamics simulations and experimental techniques, the goal is to enhance the understanding of these electrolytes' structural, energetic, and dynamic properties, improving their performance, stabilit…
In this project we propose a computational study of peptide nanotubes formed from phenylalanine residues (diphenylalanine (FF), NH2-Phe-Phe-COOH). FF linear peptides nanotubes are formed under mild conditions in aqueous solution, with a very high yield, and can serve in various important applications. However, these nanotubes are still poorly studied at molecular level so that many aspect…
