• Abstract

  This project encompasses the development of facile, versatile, and environmentally friendly methodologies to enable the study of a wealth of new nanomaterials (inorganic, organic and/or hybrids thereof) having controlled and well-defined size, shape, composition, structure (solid or empty interiors) and architectures. They will be immobilized and functionalized using various techniques ai…

• Abstract

  Bimetallic and asymmetric heterostructures represent an emerging class of nanomaterials. They allow for the combination of distinct compositions, shapes, and physicochemical features within a single particle, thus leading to intriguing properties. We demonstrate herein the synthesis of asymmetric Au@Pd-Au tadpoles having a tail comprised of a single Au nanorod and a spherical head compose…

• Abstract

  The use of solar energy to promote catalytic reactions is essential to make our economy more sustainable and greener, however, the vast majority of photocatalysts have activity limited to the UV region and therefore are not very efficient when excited by the solar spectrum. In this context, this project is focused on develop plasmonic photocatalysts active by visible light to promote orga…

• Abstract

  This project aims to obtain a new class of hybrid nanomaterials, which are described by the integration of photoluminescent carbon nanodots (CNDs), doped or not with heteroatoms (N, S, B and P), and silver (Ag) or gold (Au) plasmonic nanostructures. This will be directed towards to the application of these in the conversion of solar energy to fuels. In these nanomaterials, we are interest…

• Abstract

  Recycling CO2 by hydrogenating it into fuels or value-added chemical is an outstanding approach to mitigate environmental concerns or harms of CO2 emissions as well as to provide renewable fuels. Hence, owing to the central role played by heterogeneous catalysts in advancing such recycling process, in this research project, we aim to evaluate the CO2 hydrogenation catalytic performances o…
