P.C. de Sousa Filho is an Assiociate Professor (MS-5.1) at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the University of Campinas (IQ-Unicamp, Campinas, Brazil). He is graduated in Chemistry (2008) and received his Ph.D. at the University of São Paulo (FFCLRP-USP, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil) in 2013, with a post-doctoral period (2013-2017) at the Rare Earth Laboratory (FFCLRP-USP) under supervision of Prof. Osvaldo A. Serra. He performed a collaborative period (01-07/2012) at the Groupe de Chimie du Solide of the Laboratoire de Physique de la Matière Condensée at the École Polytechnique/CNRS (Palaiseau, FR), where he also developed a post-doctoral collaboration under supervision of Prof. Thierry Gacoin (2015 - 2016). Prof. de Sousa Filho became Assistant Professor at IQ-Unicamp in 2017 and became Associate Professor after his "habilitation" in 2022. He has experience in Inorganic Physical-Chemistry, specially in rare earths, luminescent materials, spectroscopy and related applications in the development of optical sensors and phosphors.

Rare earth vanadates are classic luminescent materials that remain as ubiquitous host lattices for ultraviolet- to near infrared excited thermal and chemical sensing, and for enzyme-like catalytic activity. The compositional, redox and microstructural richness of nanosized rare earth vanadates (NanoREV) enable not only the design of novel multifunctional materials but also to set new insi…
Rare earth (RE)-based materials remain as compounds of paramount importance for optical applications in lighting and visualisation, as well as for the elaboration of new labels and sensors. Nanosized phosphors combine the special spectroscopic properties of REs with the generation of sensitive and controllable optical responses at the nanoscale, which make them extremely attractive tools …
Rare earth (RE)-based materials (i.e. solid compounds of the lanthanide metals) show growing technological importance in the fields of energy, catalysis and sensing due to their unique properties. Further improvement of the applications of RE solid-state compounds is dependent on a deeper comprehension of the structural and spectroscopic properties of this class of materials and the mecha…
Rare earth (RE)-based nanomaterials are highly attractive as luminescent markers because of their unique spectroscopic properties, particularly for biological applications. In this sense, this project comprises the development of colloidal nanostructures acting as ratiometric luminescent sensors for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and as optical nanothermometers in biological systems. Initi…
The search for multimodal/multifunctional materials exhibiting multiple orthogonal properties promotes the development of new synthesis methodologies with accurate morphologic and structural control. The controlled aggregation of different nanoparticles showing multiple properties into submicrometric structures called supraparticles is a promising alternative to overcome the complex prepa…
Multifunctional systems exploring simultaneously optical and catalytical properties are highly interesting both for fundamental studies and to develop new materials. For example, thermometric phosphors can be combined to metal nanoparticles (NPs) to detect local temperature fluctuation at the surface of nanomaterials in plasmonic catalysis reactions, thus enabling to describe thermal and …
Lanthanoid-doped nanoparticles have multiple emerging applications due to unique ultraviolet- and near infrared-excited luminescence, showing tuneable applicability via adapting morphology, dopant composition, and surface functionalisation. However, formation of solids with adjustable emissions according to the excitation wavelength to combine multiple photophysical properties is often a …
Rare earth sodium tetrafluorides (NaREF4) are highly important materials for several academic and technological applications, with emerging uses in nanoscale thermal sensing and cellular imaging. Such applications arise from the luminescent properties of this matrix, in which low phonon energies result in high intensities and efficiencies of upconversion luminescence. The preparation of N…

The advance in the properties of luminescent inorganic nanoparticles towards innovative applications requires more than the accurate control of size and shape homogeneity via the synthetic routes. Obtaining particles with intense and responsive luminescence for sensing and combining multiple functionalities in a single particle demand a precise tuning of poly- vs. monocristallinity, defec…
Metal nanoparticles showing localized surface plasmon resonance show unique characteristics for emerging applications in optical sensing and plasmonic catalysis, which stimulates fundamental and applied research in this field. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) also demonstrate enzyme-like activity in a variety of reactions, and plasmonic nanozyme catalysts are highly interesting for the possibil…
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), mainly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are cellular secondary messengers that are responsible for signaling and regulating various cellular processes but are also involved in many diseases and disorders including diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and many types of cancers. The metabolism of these species in the organism is accompanied by highly localized temperature c…
