Research Group on Catalytic Processes and Materials for Sustainable Development - CaMat

Description

Our research aims to generate applied knowledge in the areas of organic chemistry, catalysis and materials science. We seek to generate scientific knowledge through originality and multidisciplinarity.

As specialists in Organic Chemistry we aim to bring our vision to the creation of molecular complexity, all geared towards sustainability and efficiency in coherence with sustainable development goals. Specifically, our study focuses on:

  • The design of new functional materials and the development of alternative applications in catalysis and energy. 
  • The use of MOF/COV-type systems that can generate high-density functional interfaces resistant to extreme environments.
  • The development of new synthetic pathways for obtaining molecular complexity through processes in line with green chemistry.
  • The use of hydrogen self-transfer processes to activate diols and generate new structures.
  • The development of new structures for photovoltaic systems.
  • The development of original methodologies to access polyaromatic compounds from simple structures and with catalysis.
Goals CT
  • Development of new resistant materials for energy, biomedical and catalysis applications
  • Development of new heterocyclic nitrogen compounds by green reactions to obtain new drugs and sensors. 
  • Development of new synthetic routes based on the reuse of simple and abundant products such as ethylene glycol to revalorise it and demonstrate its applicability as a synthon in organic chemistry.
  • Development of impact contributions that can be relevant at both academic and industrial level to generate synergies between both scientific realities.
