Dr. Katherine Villa

Summary

Dr Villa’s research line is focused on a rational design of nanostructured photocatalytic systems based on multicomponent heterojunctions that can efficiently convert polluting compounds into high-value chemicals and fuels. On the other hand, the group is also devoted to the development of light-driven photocatalytic micromotors for environmental applications. Both approaches are in line with the sustainable development goals from the EU, including clean energy generation and water decontamination.
