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…
Bio-alcohols electro-oxidations mechanism, have been studying by using electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques, especially for the cases of methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH).However, considering only the simpler and cheaper alcohols, there is a lack of awareness about the EtOH oxidation intermediates and a total lack of glycerol (GlOH), and bigger molecules, intermediates knowledge.…

Electrochemistry is an extremely impactful field, which affects several segments in Economy, Science, and Technology. Electrocatalysis is particularly relevant due to its presence in industrial and environmental applications, energy storage and production. In this context, nanomaterials represent a major class of electrode materials employed in electrocatalysis. Thus, the development of s…
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…
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 which demand grows annually, mainly in Brazil, and its production generates glycerol as a co-product at a rate of 10% by weight. Although this compound has several industrial applications, the growing demand for biodiesel has caused an increase in the supply of glycerol, which goes beyond industrial demand, resulting in the fall in its price. This fact stimul…

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…
