The UV research groups (GIUV) are regulated in the 1st chapter of the Regulation ACGUV48/2013, which explains the procedure for creating new research structures. They are basic research and organizational structures that result from the voluntary association of researchers that share objectives, facilities, resources and common lines of research. These researchers are also committed to the consolidation and stability of their activity, work in groups and the capability to achieve a sustainable funding.
The research groups included in the previously mentioned Regulation are registered in the Register of Research Structures of the Universitat de València (REIUV), managed by the Office of the Vice-principal for Research. The basic information of these organisms can be found in this website.

Reference of the Group:
Description of research activity: Research area: Photochemistry Design, synthesis and study of the photophysical and photochemical behaviour of molecular and supramolecular materials.
The group has studied the photophysical and photochemical behaviour of organic chromophores and bichromophores, inter- and intra-molecular energy and electron transfer processes induced by light, as well as the application of chromophores as photocatalysts in transformations of organic compounds. Nanoparticles Design, synthesis and application of photoactive nanosystems
Since 2008, the group's research has focused mainly on semiconductor and metallic nanoparticles. Thus, nanoparticles dispersible in aqueous and organic media have been prepared, their optical properties and photostability have been studied, as well as the modification of their shape and size in processes induced by light in the presence or absence of a photocatalyst. The nanoparticles initially used were CdSe, CdSe/ZnS semiconductors and gold nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have been and are being used, after their specific functionalisation, as chemical sensors and to prepare fluorescent gels.
In recent years, the group has synthesised and is synthesising...Research area: Photochemistry Design, synthesis and study of the photophysical and photochemical behaviour of molecular and supramolecular materials.

These nanoparticles have been and are being used, after their specific functionalisation, as chemical sensors and to prepare fluorescent gels.
In recent years, the group has synthesised and is synthesising other nanoparticles of interest for biomedical applications. These so-called "up-conversion" nanoparticles are of interest for bioimaging, photodynamic therapy, controlled drug release, etc. Their most outstanding feature is related to their ability to absorb light in the IR (high penetration in tissues) and emit in the visible. In vitro studies with nanoparticles of this type, suitably functionalised for their intended purpose, are being carried out in collaboration with Prof. Verdugo of the University of Valencia.
In addition, we have recently prepared perovskite nanoparticles that allow us to obtain colloidal solutions of these nanoparticles. These semiconductor materials are of interest, among other applications, for obtaining electroluminescent devices. The application studies for devices are being carried out in collaboration with Dr. Henk Bolink of ICMol, UV.Fields of application: The molecular and nanohybrid materials developed by the group have applications such as photocatalysts, sensors, solar filters, optical devices, drug detection, etc.[Read more][Hide]
