Our group’s work converges on the general design, synthesis,
characterization and applications of nanoscale materials and the use
of the tools of nanotechnology. As you can imagine this is quite
a broad area, and therefore we are currently more focused on studying the
use of nanoscale materials as heterogeneous catalysts and in using
nanotechnology to address current environmental challenges.
We aim at understanding the relationships between properties such
as catalytic performance (activity) and the nanoscopic structure
and composition of the material (morphology). By combining design,
synthesis, and characterization, it is possible to link the
variations in the material structure at the atomic or molecular
scale to macroscopic properties, such as improved catalytic
activity. Thus, our work attempts to bridge the gaps between
materials science, surface science, heterogeneous catalysis and
environmental engineering.
