A sustainable hydrogen economy depends on the efficient generation of green hydrogen via water electrolysis powered by renewable energies. Enhancing electrocatalytic processes through plasmon-assisted electrochemistry, particularly by utilizing hot electron generation in plasmonic nanoparticles, offers a promising route. In this context, electrodeposited gold thin films on ITO-coated glas…
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 …

This project aims to investigate the application of plasmon resonance using silver (Ag), gold (Au), and platinum (Pt) nanoparticles supported on niobium oxide (Nb2O5) for the degradation of microplastics, specifically those derived from polyester fibers in fabrics, both from the textile industry and domestic use (mainly from laundry). The Ag, Au, and Pt nanoparticles, combined with the Nb…
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are among the most widely produced and used nanomaterials in industry, medicine, and technology due to their antimicrobial properties. Among the main properties of AgNPs, the sensitivity to Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) has gained significant attention. LSPR excitation alters the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticle surface, allowing for…
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 …

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…
