Catalytic Materials and Catalysis
The Catalytic Materials and Catalysis Laboratory has 6 permanent researchers: 2 CS1 (Dr. Mihaela Florea and Dr. Florentina Neațu), 1 CS2 (Dr. Ștefan Neațu), 1 CS3 (Dr. Mihaela M. Trandafir) and 2 ACS (Dr. Anca Mirea, Dr. Iuliana-Maria Chirică) and two postdocs (Dr. Mahesh Nair and Dr. Toton Haldar).
MATCA's research concerns the development of new catalytic materials and their potential uses in energy, environmental and climate change applications.
Topics addressed in MATCA group:
- Design of catalytic and photocatalytic materials (preparation and characterisation);
- Catalysis: use of synthesised materials in various catalytic processes: oxidation reactions, hydrogenation reactions, synthesis of polymers from renewable/alternative resources, depolymerisation of plastics, reduction of volatile organic compounds;
- Photocatalysis: photocatalytic conversion of CO2 and artificial photosynthesis; water splitting;
- Energy: synthesis of materials used as electrocatalysts in fuel cells;
- MAX phase/MXene - preparation, caracterization andapplications in catalysis
