01
Synthesis of new materials
Synthesis of non-precious metals, oxide, and oxide-carbon composite applied to photochemistry and photo-electrochemistry systems.
02
Electrochemistry technologies
The working group focuses in design and develop technologies in the environmental and energy conversion in the field of electrochemistry, which are:
​
-
Degradation of organic and inorganic pollutants in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
-
Photo-electrochemistry and electrochemistry systems for removing organic material, emerging pollutants, heavy metals and energy sources.
​
Electrochemical reactors


03
Instrumental application
This project is related to develop instrumental applications in chemistry and electrochemistry reactors, based on Arduino system, in collaboration with students.
04
Simulations in Materials and electrochemistry Science
Theoretical-computational investigation of catalytic processes involved in advanced oxidation processes for the removal of organic pollutants from water. In this study, we utilize the recently developed Joint Density Functional Theory (jDFT) to elucidate the electronic structure of periodic systems. This is done in the presence of a constant chemical potential and solvent with implicit ions, allowing for the modeling of electrochemical reactions under conditions more akin to those of the electrochemical double layer than achievable with DFT in a vacuum. This project is carried out by Dr. Jaimez-López (Postdoc)
