The close collaboration between the Laboratory of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (LQTC) of the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón, directed by Professor Juan Andrés, and the Brazilian Centre for the Development of Functional Materials (CDMF), coordinated by Professor Elson Longo from the Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar), has opened innovative research lines in the field of catalysts.

One of the lines studies the synthesis, characterisation and application of new semiconductor-based catalysts for chemical reactions of industrial interest through an environmentally-friendly process. The research is carried out jointly by Dr Eva Guillamón and researcher María Gutiérrez of the Molecular Materials Group, led by Professor Rosa Llusar, CDMF researchers Marcelo Assis and Ivo Pinatti, and PhD student Aline Trench.

In the QTC laboratory, student Eduardo de Oliveira Gomes, from the Santiago Grisolía programme of the Generalitat Valenciana, is working on his doctoral thesis on the characterisation of the structures of glasses, solid solutions, and in particular the viricidal material composed of silver and silica nanoparticles that eliminates the new virus on contact. The work is carried out in collaboration with Professor Frederick Tielens, director of the Materials Modelling Laboratory of the Université Libre de Bruxelles.

Professors Eloísa Cordoncillo and Héctor Beltrán Mir, coordinators of the Solid State Chemistry Group of the UJI, have a research line focused on the synthesis, characterisation and study of the electrical properties of inorganic materials with complex structures in which the doctoral student Emerson Luiz dos Santos Veiga, from the Santiago Grisolía programme of the Generalitat Valenciana, participates. On the other hand, Vinícius Teodoro is finishing his doctoral thesis in the same group on piezocatalytic materials capable of removing pollutants from wastewater.

Vinícius Teodoro and Marcelo Assis have also participated in the design and development of an electron irradiation system to obtain and modify materials in a scalable way. This new technology is available at the CDMF and has involved the participation of the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Sao Paulo and the National Nanotechnology Laboratory in Campinas in Brazil, and Professor Juan Andrés of the UJI.

With the knowledge acquired and the results obtained from this international and multidisciplinary collaboration, innovative know-how has been achieved in the development of advanced materials (biocides and catalysts) and new technologies. More than 30 articles have been published in leading scientific journals during the years 2020 and 2021.
