Welcome to the Nanochemistry Research Group!!

At the INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, we are an international team of enthusiastic chemists, materials scientists, and coating engineers working together for R&D of unconventional nanomaterials.

KEEP PUSHING





Recent news and updates from our group:



ABOUT OUR TEAM
Julia is a phD student developing part of her thesis in Nanochemistry Research Group at INL - International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory.



She is working on the development of robust spiro-bifluorenic chiral systems with a high chiroptic capacity. Recently, chiral systems have gain special interest, due to their application in fields such as optoelectronics or electrocatalysis, since it has been shown that molecular chirality facilitates electronic transport. At INL, she is testing the performance of these compounds in electrochemical tests and how much the chirality properties can improve electronic transport in the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER).

Julia, we wish you all the joy and success in your future.     (16.04.2024)
