Visit of Dr. Luís Mafra and Dr. Mariana Sardo

On 17-19 April 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Mariana Sardo and Dr. Luís Mafra from the University of Aveiro. Dr. Sardo, an expert in high-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy, is the coordinator of the EU-funded “PANACEA” project, which aims to make cutting-edge NMR facilities more accessible to the European chemical community. In her […]

International Zeolitic Materials School

The International Zeolitic Materials School brought together young researchers with interest in the synthesis, characterization and application of zeolitic and related porous materials. The school has been held in Zamora during April 10th- 12th, having a total of 52 participants coming from institutions of 10 different countries.

We have contributed to the groundbreaking international research on zeolite catalysis

The team of co-authors from five different countries, has uncovered a revolutionary new design concept for catalysts used in the industrially crucial Methanol-to-Hydrocarbon process, enabling the production of high-demand chemical commodities from source-abundant methanol. A remarkable 14-fold increase in the catalyst’s lifetime was achieved by employing liquid gallium as a promoter, which molecular-level effects on […]
