Visit our laboratories:




CatLab


CatLab is dedicated to testing advanced catalytic materials and characterization of materials.
Equipped with instrumentation focus on electrocatalysis, the laboratory delves into the development and testing of materials crucial for addressing pressing global challenges in energy and environmental sustainability.
With a multidisciplinary approach, advanced characterization techniques explore the structural, morphological, and chemical properties of various materials.



ChemLab
ChemLab is dedicated for inorganic and organic chemistry, simultaneously, prepararing and testing of covalent organic frameworks and synthesizing inorganic nanoparticles with control over size, shape, and composition.
Our expertise in inorganic and organic chemistry converge to push the boundaries of material design and functionality.





NanoLab
NanoLab is dedicated to synthesis, assembly, functionalization, and scale-up of nanoparticles and nanostructures.
In pursuit of unlocking the full potential of nanotechnology, our endeavors encompass the development of polarized to semiconductor-based materials. Also including the meticulous design of electrolysers and battery recycling catalysts, precisely tailored to manifest desired properties and functionalities.
Additionally, we adress the scaling up of these processes, effectively bridging the divide between laboratory-scale synthesis and industrial implementation.






SynLab
SynLab is designed for air and moisture-sensitive chemistry and characterization.
Equipped with a Schlenk line, an elemental analyzer and a environmental chamber, our synthesized materials are analysed with exceptional accuracy and sensitivity, to comprehensively evaluate their properties and performance also under harsh conditions.






InnovaLab
InnovaLab is purpose-designed to successfully conduct innovation projects, specially in coatings development.
Specialized equipment and techniques address industry-oriented solutions in the areas of plastic, ceramic, glass, wood, textile, and alloys.
Our main projects in this area attack problems related to the automotive, offshore and marine industries, with solutions aimed at UV and IR shielding, superhydrophobicity, photovoitaics in textile, antibiofouling and anticorrosion self-healing coatings.






Moreover...
Various fabrication and characterization facilities are available at our host institution: International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory - INL.

We have access to state-of-the-art characterization equipments such as transmission and scanning electron microscopes, probe microscopes, X-ray, Spectroscopy, electrical characterisation and magnetic properties measurement facilities.
