Main Research area: Catalysis Other scientific specializations include inorganic and organometallic chemistry of actinides and lanthanides. Main goals: i) Applications of f-block elements as catalysts, catalytic precursors or additives; ii) Elimination and valorization of primary gaseous pollutants, e.g. N2O, CO2 or CH4, using them as carbon sources for the production of added value chemicals with applications in the energetic sector, e.g. as fuels.
Interesses científicos
- Development of new low-temperature catalyst synthesis methodologies: preparation of nanostructured high specific surface areas catalysts containing f-block elements (lanthanides
- uranium
- and thorium) and d-block elements (Cu
- Ni
- Co
- Fe
- Ga
- In)
- Activation and valorization of gaseous pollutants
- namely CO2
- CH4 and N2O aiming at the synthesis of important added value products
- e.g.
- methane
- C2 hydrocarbons
- methanol
- syngas
- or hydrogen for the chemical and energy industries.
