GIUV2017-401

We are a research group in the interface between inorganic and materials chemistry. We are part of the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol) at the Universidad de Valencia. Our research encompasses different targets ranging from the synthesis, characterization and nanostructuration of inorganic, porous materials. Built upon a thorough understanding of these basic principles we aim to enable environmentally relevant application based on these materials like catalysis, chiral separation, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis or energy storage. We collaborate nationally and internationally with renowned research groups, including scientists at ICIQ (Tarragona), Polymat (San Sebastián), ETH (Zurich), ICN2 (Barcelona), University of Liverpool, University of Warwick and IMDEA Nanoscience (Madrid). Our labs are located at the state-of-the-art facilities of ICMol.

• New synthetic routes specifically designed for producing new, hydrolytically stable MOFs.
• More advanced crystalline materials to feature tunable function by chemical manipulation of MOF¿s optical/electrical properties and pore activity.
• High-quality ultrathin films alongside establishing the techniques required for evaluating their electric properties relevant to application.
• Synthesis and derivatization of enantiopure MOFs for low-temperature applications (enantiomeric separation and asymmetric catalysis).
• Defect engineering in MOF chemistry.

• Functional Inorganic Materials.Development of new advanced porous materials for implementation in applications of environmental interest, such as solar energy conversion or the development of a new generation of electronic devices combining porosity with electrical response.
