The chemical nature of energy conversion-transfer phenomena can be explored using computational methods.
Explore the Energy transfer process for the understanding and designing of new hybrid materials applied to energy upconversion.
Optic properties of materials and their possible applications to devices
The study of magnetic materials by means of quantum chemistry and DFT theoretical framework
The richness of host-guest chemistry is applied in Metal-organic frameworks and single-molecules included into the deeper cavities. The energy transfer phenomena are rationalized using DFT modelling to reveal new optical properties. The energy transfer occurs in ground and excited states, and the effect of guest molecules should be rationalized for the design of synergistic host-guest material based on MOF systems
Study of Magnetic coupling in coordination compounds, the electronic properties of transition metal cluster displays applications for devices due to this high-sensible properties. Magneto-structural characterization supported on DFT calculations and experimental magnetic curves fitting aims the understanding of magnetic nature and further magnetic applications
Supramolecular chemistry plays a outstanding role in different systems. The interactions between molecules, ionic liquids or nanoparticles give rise to form supramolecular arrays with several applications such as in sensors and catalytic materials science. Intermolecular interactions and their stabilizing effect support further potential applications.
Surface chemistry of 2D materials are versatile platform for the development of new electronic, optic and/or magnetic devices. The stabilization of species/molecules adsorbed onto these kinds of platforms generate new interactions, modulating thus different properties. The specific interactions with different natures should be understood for the design of new 2D-material
