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…
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 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 …
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful tool for ultrasensitive, non-destructive and real-time analysis. Noble metals with rough surfaces are typically used as SERS substrates. The aim of this project is to provide versatility to this class of sensors by designing platforms in which nanoarrays of mixed metals are concomitantly present on the sensing surface. This is impor…
This project encompasses the development of facile, versatile, and environmentally friendly methodologies to enable the study of a wealth of new nanomaterials (inorganic, organic and/or hybrids thereof) having controlled and well-defined size, shape, composition, structure (solid or empty interiors) and architectures. They will be immobilized and functionalized using various techniques ai…

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…
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…

Ammonia is produced from high purity N2 and H2 gases at high temperatures and pressures via the HaberBosch process. Electrocatalytic N2 reduction to ammonia is an attractive alternative that can potentially enable ammonia synthesis under milder conditions in small-scale, distributed, and on-site electrolysis cells powered by renewable electricity generated. The electrochemical ammonia sy…
The research project aims at the application of a new conductive and biodegradable copolymer consisting of PEDOT-co-PLLA modified or not with plasmonic nanoparticles. The application focus of PEDOT-co-PLLA is in tissue engineering, more specifically with nerve or bone cells. In order to improve the processes of cell adhesion and proliferation through stimulation of electric current or ele…
Conductive polymers are versatile materials with a lot of uses, they can be used in electronics and even in biomedical areas. The synthesis of poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) is made by the oxidation of the monomer 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), that can be achieved in many ways, but most methods result in low yield and are time costing. Because of this, our research team is s…

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…
Ethanol is a promising renewable fuel, as it is non-toxic, biomass derived, of easy transportation and storage, carbon neutral, and has a high energy density if completely oxidized to CO2. Aiming at the synthesis of a highly active and selective catalyst for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR), several approaches have been explored. Among them, rational design and plasmonic properties play a…
