Overview<\/h2>

The primary focus of our group\u2019s research is the synthesis of inorganic and organometallic compounds, the development of hybrid organic-inorganic materials, and the design of heterogeneous catalytic systems, including supported metal nanoparticles and single-atom or single-cluster catalysts (SACs and SCCs).<\/p>

Current research topics<\/span><\/h6>

\u2022 Synthesis of Pt(II), Pd(II), and Cu(II) complexes with chelating, bridging, and water-soluble ligands (phosphines, diphosphines, carbazones, etc.) for catalytic or biological applications\n

\n\u2022 Preparation of ion conducting polymers for energy applications\n

\u2022 Up-conversion of waste materials through green chemical processes\n

\u2022 Synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia\n

\u2022 Preparation of nanocomposites based on graphene and graphitic carbon nitride for water decontamination through photocatalysis or adsorption\n

\n\u2022Mechanochemical synthesis of biomass-inspired heterogeneous catalysts: from supported nanoparticles to SACs and SCCs.\n

\u2022 Mechanochemically-assisted reactions as a greener alternative to traditional solution-based chemistry.

\u2022 Study of the physic-chemical and antibacterial properties of nanocomposites\n<\/p><\/div>
