The research team PAMA has a long experience with photoactive compounds derived from more than 25 years of trajectory at the Instituto de Tecnología Química (UPV-CSIC). Dr. Marin and Dr. Bosca have participated in ca. 200 international scientific publications and 50 research projects (national, regional, and international). The following lines of research are currently being explored:
- Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of new heterogeneous photocatalysts with absorption in the visible range of the spectrum.
- Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of new heterogeneous photocatalysts based on semiconductors.
- Scale-up and optimization of photocatalytic processes for industrial wastewater decontamination.
- Investigation of reaction mechanisms in decontamination/disinfection processes based on femto, nano and microsecond resolution photophysical techniques.
- Design of new photocatalytic nanomaterials for synthetic and/or therapeutic applications.
- Development of conductive polymeric devices and minimization of the environmental impact of wastewater resulting from the metallization process.
