This project has the main goals to synthesize BiVO4 doped with rareearths, in particular yttrium (Y3+), in different amounts of doping to study the influence of the dopant on the photoelectrochemical degradation of biomasses collected in real industrial environments (textile, agricultural, paper and chemical). A photoelectrochemical system with photo anode coupling developed with an alrea…
The Centre of Excellence for Research in Sustainable Chemistry (CERSusChem) was established in 2016 by the FAPESP Engineering Research Centers Program (CPE) and was co-financed by the pharmaceutical industry GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The CERSusChem activities are based on the 3 pillars: research, innovation, and knowledge dissemination. Continuing our efforts in the development of new sustai…
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…

The use of renewable energy, as solar energy, is considered as a viable alternative to avoid the excessive fossil fuel consumption. However, the use of large-scale renewable energy is still a challenge because of its intermittence. A solution to solve the mismatch between demand-consumption is to obtain renewable fuels, which can be generated from abundant sources, as CO2 and H2O, using a…

The central idea is to harness the energy generated in the oxidation of contaminants to drive the reduction of CO¿, transforming it into alcohols, organic acids and synthesis gas. This project aims to apply photoelectrochemical systems using photoanodes already developed in our group based on BiVO4 for the oxidation of sulfamethoxazole, a common contaminant in domestic effluents, simultan…
Nitrate is a contaminant frequently found in bodies of water. The accumulation of this substance is harmful to living beings, from the combustion of petroleum derivatives, excessive use of fertilizers and discharge of wastewater. Because of this, it is important to reduce its recurrence in the environment. However, simply reducing and eliminating is not enough, the most viable option is t…
The electrochemical conversion of CO2 is a versatile technique that can be used in ambient conditions of temperature and pressure in an aqueous medium (supporting electrolyte), enabling the modulation of synthesis conditions both in targeting the formed product, as for the conditions of pH, electrolytic medium, synergy with the catalyst, among others parameters. Accordingly, conductive c…

The production of NH3 is crucial for human development and the global economy, since ammonia is the second most synthesized chemical in the world, of which about 80% is used in the production of fertilizers. In fact, approximately half of the nitrogen contained in our bodies comes from a synthetic source of ammonia. Furthermore, ammonia is a promising carbon-free energy carrier with high …
The objective of this work is to study the kinetics and control the electrodeposition process of Fe-Ni-Mo alloys in order to obtain deposits with desired characteristics for application in the hydrogen evolution reaction. In this way, deposits with different compositions will be obtained, which will be studied from the point of view of their growth kinetics, in addition to the properties …

Alkylamines represent an important class of chemicals with multiple applications in our daily lives. Among the different routes to alkyl amines, the catalytic hydroamination of alkenes with amines is of high interest mainly because it can occur under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. Therefore, developing an upgraded N2 fixation system using NH3 as an intermediate can provide …
The electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic molecules (C2+) offers a promising alternative for addressing climate change and facilitating sustainable energy and chemical production. Despite research efforts dating back to the late 1960s, significant technological and fundamental challenges still need to be addressed in this field. These challenges include enhancing…
Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most used chemical compounds in the contemporary era due to its wide range of applications as a precursor of nitrogen compounds in the agricultural, pharmaceutical, and textile industries. However, the industrial production of NH3 relies on the Haber-Bosch process, which is not only energy-intensive but emits large amounts of greenhouse gas. Therefore, photoele…
There is an urgent need for alternatives to non-biodegradable plastics produced from non-renewable sources, which contribute to environmental pollution and sustainability issues. Biopolymers extracted from renewable sources, such as kefiran, have gained attention for their antibacterial and antitumor properties. Kefiran has been investigated for its potential use in food packaging, but ch…
