Objetivos y Actividades

El Grupo de Nanoqumica tiene como objetivo el procesado qumico-fsico de materiales nanoestructurados (principalmente, nanotubos de carbono, y ms recientemente grafeno y nanoestructuras inorgnicas) para la fabricacin de materiales funcionales, ya sea como materiales compuestos y/o hbridos (grupo pionero en la fabricacin de pelculas y fibras nanocompuestas de nanotubos de carbono), para aplicaciones en catlisis, o su integracin en dispositivos electroqumicos (msculos artificiales, supercondensadores), fotnicos y sensores.

Otra lnea de investigacin de este grupo trata del empleo de la tecnologa lser para la sntesis “a la carta” de nanomateriales de carbono y/o de hbridos de carbono/metal a partir del control de la qumica de los precursores moleculares irradiados as como de los parmetros lser utilizados. La filosofa de esta "qumica lser" se est aplicando adems con xito a la sntesis de materiales inorgnicos funcionales (materiales fotoluminiscentes).
