Summary

The team of Prof. Galán-Mascarós is dedicated to the development of low-cost materials for its implementation in new strategies for the transformation of renewable energies into chemicals and solar fuels. Through the design and selection of materials, they face very different challenges, from intelligent materials for thermal/optical devices to nanostructured electrocatalysts designed to participate in competitive systems on an industrial scale.
