SUSTAINABLE CHEMISTRY and MATERIALS

Group
The activities of the research group are focused on the study and development of materials and processes for applications ranging from sensors to catalysis. In particular, the group is active in ultra-sensitive detection and in the abatement of persistent micropollutants, as well as in the development of photocatalysts for the production of energy carriers from renewable sources.

Research fields

The research activity of our group is focused on two main general topics: - Materials for advanced diagnostics (e.g. Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) - Materials for environment: energy conversion and pollutant removal Part of our research activity is focused on developing new routes for the synthesis of nanostructured materials. In particular, we are active in the synthesis of plasmonic nanoparticles and nanostructures, hierarchically organized multi‐scale architectures and hybrid metal/polymer or metal/oxide systems. Our materials are obtained by combining: Colloidal Synthesis Routes, Sol-Gel Methods and Atomic Layer Deposition. Great attention is focused on the sustainability of synthesis protocols, reducing the environmental impact of the involved reactants and employing wastes (in particular, organic waste) as starting materials.
