Approaches
Hydrogen has been identified as an attractive energy carrier for future energy systems that offers the advantage of clean and complete conversion to water and hydrogen generation from water splitting is a strategy to employ solar, wind, ocean currents, tides or waves energy to water splitting. However, for the development of artificial photosynthetic systems for hydrogen generation from water splitting in a sustainable manner, first it is necessary to synthesize a stable, low cost, and efficient, environmentally friendly and easy to use, synthesis, manufacture catalyst for water oxidation, which is the more challenging half reaction of water splitting. Our research group explore transition-metal compounds as water oxidizing catalysts for water oxidation in artificial photosynthesis. Other Research interests: Metal compounds in medicine. Interactions between metal Ions and Bio Molecules Nanoparticles (with special interest in nanoparticles to improve the current artificial photosynthetic system) Solid State Chemistry Catalysis for oxidation of organic compounds
