As is well known, one of the main concerns of our society revolves around finding ways to continue our current lifestyle while establishing a green economy, in which energy, raw materials and value-added products are produced taking into account the principles of sustainability. In this direction, research into new materials that can be used as catalysts in fine chemistry and field of energy has much to contribute to the development of sustainable processes. In this sense, our research focuses on the design of materials that can serve as catalysts for organic reactions relevant to the synthesis of compounds of interest, such as drugs, pigments, agrochemicals, etc. In our research, both the development aspects of sustainable synthetic methodologies, taking into account the use of accessible and low toxic reagents (carbon dioxide, urea, diols, hydrogen, etc.) as far as posible, as well as the design aspects of the catalyst will be key. Regarding the latter aspect, in this group, we intend to design and characterize stable and reusable materials whose structure adapts to the needs of the reaction to be catalysed. Our interest so far has focused on the design of nanomaterials based on...As is well known, one of the main concerns of our society revolves around finding ways to continue our current lifestyle while establishing a green economy, in which energy, raw materials and value-added products are produced taking into account the principles of sustainability.

Regarding the latter aspect, in this group, we intend to design and characterize stable and reusable materials whose structure adapts to the needs of the reaction to be catalysed. Our interest so far has focused on the design of nanomaterials based on a metal oxide- or graphene-type support on which nanoparticles, clusters or metal complexes have been deposited. These materials have been applied as catalysts mainly in hydrogenation, hydrogen transfer and carbonylation reactions.
