Catalytic materials.Energy chemistry.

Research on carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, syngas and biomass-derived molecules examines how metal sites and support interfaces influence reaction pathways, with an emphasis on the selective synthesis of lower alcohols and oxygenated chemicals.

Carbon nitride, metal sulfides and their composites provide systems for studying light absorption, charge transfer and surface reactions, with applications in hydrogen production, hydrogen peroxide synthesis, pollutant transformation and self-cleaning films.

We study reversible hydrogen uptake and release in magnesium-based materials and catalytic release from chemical carriers such as formic acid, focusing on interfaces, reaction rates and stability, alongside the usable capacity of storage materials.

Polyoxometalates and their derivatives, nickel-based electrodes and conductive frameworks provide systems for studying hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, urea oxidation and related energy-storage reactions, with attention to active structures under operating conditions.
