Laboratory of Nanomaterials for Renewable Energy & Artificial Photosynthesis

With applied and interdisciplinary research, we aim to develop and investigate advanced materials for clean energy generation and storage through artificial photosynthesis, fuel cells, and supercapacitors.

The Laboratory of Nanomaterials for Renewable Energy and Artificial Photosynthesis (NanoREAP) focuses on interdisciplinary and applied research encompassing investigations and applications of advanced nanomaterials for clean energy generation and storage.

The nanomaterials are synthesized via bottom-up and top-down approaches and their physicochemical properties are fine-tuned for renewable energy applications through artificial photosynthesis, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. The morphological, electronic, compositional, and structural properties of nanomaterials are investigated via state-of-the-art advanced techniques, combined with theoretical approaches, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT).

Our goals are conceptual learning, the development of a fundamental understanding of the underlying phenomena involved in the science of clean energy, and training highly qualified researchers for the development of research with high technological, environmental and social impact.
