Strategic Focus
The group is committed to pertinent and high-quality research in the area of basic sciences with research areas in synthesis of new materials, characterization and structural determination. As a result, the group focuses its efforts on using those materials in the applied research area towards technological development and environmental decontamination. This is intended to supply environmental demands and the need to generate cutting-edge technology based on the search for materials with novel properties that can be used in different chemical processes.
Research Areas and Topics
- Characterization and structural determination.
- Heterogeneous catalysis.
- Nanostructured multifunctional materials.
- Synthesis of new materials.
- Use of molecular meshes in processes.
