In the Advanced Porous Materials Unit at IMDEA Energy we work with the aim of developing new multifunctional porous materials, which mainly include hybrid materials such as MOFs or metal-organic networks, but also perovskites, oxides, metallic particles and various composites. Through their exhaustive characterisation, the aim is to understand and improve their physicochemical properties with the objective of applying them in different areas of socio-economic relevance such as energy, environment or health. The scaling and production of solids is also considered.
Research lines
- Fuel cells: new materials with proton conductivity.
- Photovoltaics: semiconductor materials
- Energy production and storage: photo/electroactive solids
- Environmental and Health: adsorbent and catalytic biomaterials.
Facilities
The unit’s laboratory equipment enables the synthesis and physico-chemical characterisation of materials and the evaluation of their effectiveness in different applications. All this, together with the staff that make up our group, allows us to advance day by day in our research objectives.
