Increasing energy demands in recent decades force us to search for more sustainable ways for energy production. In this context, green hydrogen is a key energy vector to succeed in the energy transition. The cost-effective production of green hydrogen has still some challenges, being one of the most important to speed up the electro-oxidation of water in electrolyzers. Despite enormous ef…
The project "New Energy Generation and Storage: bringing technological development to the country" encompasses the research and extension activities of three CINE phase 2 programs from 2023 to 2028: Energy Generation (EG), Advanced Energy Energy (Advanced Energy Storage, AES) and Green Hydrogen Generation (GH2). The project is part of CINE's mission, which is the development of national t…
As a part of the New Energies Research Center (NERC), a joint initiative from FAPESP and Shell, this Research Division 3 - Methane to Products (RD3) is built to grow as a world-class scientific center for research on advanced technologies for methane conversion to high-value products. In this context, RD3 addresses potentially disruptive technologies to tackle methane conversion beyond tr…
The depletion of fossil-fuels and the increase in the populations concerns about the climate changes stimulate the development of greener and sustainable energy sources. Glycerol is a co-product of the synthesis of biodiesel. The continuous increase in the production of biodiesel have generated a large glycerol surplus, lowering its price dramatically. Polyols like glycerol, can be conver…
The depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns are speeding up the transition to a bio-based economy. Thus, several polyols were pointed out as alternative for the generation of value-added molecules and energy. Glycerol is a biofuel that can be used as a feedstock for several value-added products. Besides, this is the simplest polyol containing a primary and secondary carbon tu…
In this project, I propose to study fundamental aspects of mainly three reaction of interest for the world and our country: 1) Electrooxidation of ethanol and glycerol and 2) Electroreduction of CO2. We will use Pt-based surfaces: 1) Polycrystalline Pt, Pt single crystals and shape controlled Pt nanoparticles. All the surfaces will be modified by p-block adatoms of the periodic table whic…

A promising approach to sustainable hydrogen production is water electrolysis (water splitting). For large-scale applications, this process necessitates the development of efficient and stable catalysts, particularly for the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The most commonly used anodic catalysts are noble metal-based, especially iridium and ruthenium, due to their effectiveness. R…
This project addresses the urgent need for renewable energy solutions by exploring the synthesis of Platinum nanoparticles (NPs) from perovskite oxide (PO) for use in electro-oxidation of glycerol (EOG), a process that offers a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional hydrogen production methods. Utilizing green hydrogen as a clean, renewable energy source, this project aims to re…
The escalating global energy demands claims for the exploration of sustainable approaches to energy generation. In this context, green hydrogen (gH2) has emerged as a crucial energy carrier in facilitating the ongoing energy transition. However, the cost-effectiveness of gH2 production faces significant challenges, being one of the most important to speed up the electro-oxidation of water…

In situ measurements allow to study the physicochemical properties of materials under the same experimental conditions under which their performance is measured. Nanomaterials are very important in electrochemistry, in the application of nanoparticles as electrodes. Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (BCDI) is a technique that uses X-rays to make 3D images and map nanocrystal stress and d…
(Electro)catalysis is undoubtedly important because it involves relevant processes in several areas of science and technology. Catalyzed reactions are present in virtually all branches of chemistry, but are especially important in industrial applications, such as in the energy sector, in the development of fuel cells, in the transformation of low-cost molecules into dense energy carriers,…
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel of high importance for the Brazilian energy matrix, which has been showing continuous growth over the years, and has glycerol as a co-product of synthesis, a renewable compound that can also be used as an energy source, or as a precursor for the synthesis of other molecules of greater interest. In this scenario, the objective of this doctoral project is to in…

Nanomaterials are a significant category of electrode materials utilized in electrocatalysis. Consequently, comprehending the mechanisms of reactions catalyzed by nanoparticles (NPs) is crucial for the advancement of numerous important electrocatalytic systems. The observed electrocatalytic response of an electrode composed of many NPs stems from the collective signals generated by its co…
The depletion of energy resources and the necessity for efficient and green technologies for the utilization of renewable resources such as biomass has become a hot topic in recent years. Thus, biomass derived polyols such as Glycerol (GlOH), Sorbitol, Arabitol and Xylitol were chosen from the twelve strategic chemicals to be used as building blocks for the fine chemicals production. In t…
