Diogo Silva Pellosi currently serves as an associate professor at the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). He is also a visiting professor at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and an associate researcher at the National Institute of Technology in Organic Electronics (INCT - INEO) as well as the Center of Innovation in Materials at the Brazilian Industrial Research and Innovation Company (Embrapii). Diogo holds a degree and PhD in chemistry from the State University of Maringá (UEM/PR) and completed a postdoctoral program at the chemistry department of the University of São Paulo (USP). His research interests include:- Development of metallic nanoparticles (silver, copper, and hybrids with metallic oxides) for use as photocatalysts activated by visible light, probes for SERS spectroscopy, and self-cleaning antibacterial materials.- Recovery of industrial waste and production of nanomaterials from metallic oxides and nanoparticles.- Development of intelligent polymeric nanoparticles (targeting and theranostic) for the selective delivery of photopharmaceuticals and photodynamic therapy.

Microorganism resistance to antibiotics and other drugs is a serious problem worldwide. Recovery from these multidrug resistant infections require multiple treatments, usually associated with toxicity and high costs. In this scenario, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have been proposed due its strong antimicrobial activity and no induction of resistance mechanisms. AgNP also present a plasmoni…
Microorganisms have been a growing concern due to the rapid expansion of multi-resistant antibiotic strains. Therefore, the discovery of therapeutic alternatives is urgent. In this scenario, researchers around the world have been exploring nanotechnology potentialities. Among several alternatives, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) stand out, but their high production cost and toxicity (human an…
The industrial expansion promoted by man polluted natural sources of water through the generation and disposal of waste. In this scenario, Photocatalysis is a promising alternative in the treatment of these residues, however the current photocatalysts (usually metal oxides such as TiO2) preset some drawbacks as low efficiency and absorb light only in the UV region of the electromagnetic s…
Among the different metallic nanoparticles currently available, the present project highlights silver nanoparticles (AgNP). These have properties dependent on their size and morphology, thus allowing their customization and optimization. However, the synthetic methodologies currently applied are not very effective and/or use toxic agents, making their biomedical use unfeasible. In this sc…
