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.

Research interests

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.
