According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 80% of the global energy demand is derived from fossil fuels which are non-renewable energy sources and their use implicate in environmental consequences contribuiting to pollution and climate change effect. To address these problems, much effort has been made towards a clean energy development and some reactions are at the core of the e…
The production of low-emission hydrogen is central to the current energy transition. A promising alternative involves water splitting via renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, resulting in what is called green hydrogen. Water electrolysis, which includes the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at the cathode and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at the anode, faces significant …
The aim of this project is to swap knowledge and expertise in scaffolds with 2D and 3D structures built up by electrospinning and solution blow spinning using PEDOT-co-PDLLA in the molar proportion PEDOT: PDLLA 1:50, 1:25 and 1:5. It is expected material maintain their features associated with electroactive, biocompatible and biodegradable properties. The two kinds of scaffold could have …
This project has as its general goal the development of scaffolds for cellular growth from novel polymer systems, aiming at applications in biomedical engineering, especially in the area of regenerative medicine. We propose the combination of the efforts of specialists from various areas toward a multi- and interdisciplinary approach, in the solution of problems involving the control of s…

The energy transition from a fossil fuel-dependent economy to one based on renewable sources requires the development of efficient and durable energy conversion devices, such as batteries, electrolyzers, and fuel cells. The widespread use of these electrochemical devices is limited by the kinetic constraints of the redox reactions occurring within them and the high cost of materials used …
Obtaining NH3 is of marked importance due to its applicability today. Ammonia serves as the basic starting material for synthetic fertilizers rich in nitrogen, a very important aspect of agriculture. In the industry, the Haber-Bosch method is proposed as the most accepted for obtaining it. This process has several disadvantages since it is necessary to consume high amounts of energy, high…
The Haber-Bosch process is extremely important due to its capacity to produce a large amount of ammonia, which is widely used in the fertilizer, polymer and explosives industries. Despite this, the Haber-Bosch process is carried out at very high temperatures and pressures, which makes it highly costly. Furthermore, this process is a nonenvironmental friendly since it is responsible to rel…
The growing impact of climate change and global warming due to CO2 emissions makes it increasingly urgent to seek sustainable alternatives and techniques capable of mitigating these emissions. In this context, the electrochemical reduction of CO2 has proven to be a promising alternative to address this issue, as it is a method capable of producing economically valuable compounds such as m…

The burning of fossil fuels has significantly contributed to climate change through elevated CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. To address this, the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) emerges as a promising approach to convert CO2 into higher-value compounds. This project aims to explore the properties of Au-Cu2O catalysts and light-electrode interactions by studying the CO…
The electrosynthesis of urea has become a promising alternative approach to theenergy intensive traditional Bosch-Meiser process for urea production. However,there are still challenges that needed to be overcome. These challenges areassociated to the high stability of NaN bond of N2 species, low solubility of gasesin different solvents, adsorption of gases over catalyst surface and compet…
The Haber-Bosch synthesis is responsible for the large-scale production of ammonia, an essential product for the fertilizer, polymer and explosives industries. However, this process demands a high energy consumption and is responsible for contribute for CO2 emissions. As a result, electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (eNO3¿RR) have emerged as more sustainable alternatives for ammoni…
This project proposes to study the influence of localized surface plasmon resonance phenomenon of noble metal nanoparticles supported on semiconductors on electrocatalysis. This physical phenomenon is caused by the interaction between conduction band electrons and incident electromagnetic radiation, triggering a collective oscillation of charges on nanoparticles' surfaces. Considering ene…
The extensive use of fossils fuels led to a significantly concentration of SO2, a poisonous species, in the atmosphere. In a search to reduce its presence in breathable air and to pursue more ecological ways of obtaining energy, it is proposed the SO2 oxidation reaction to H2SO4 generating H2 as side product, a clean and efficient fuel. The reaction presents an oscillatory dynamics due to…
