Spoke 9 – Energy-Sustainable Advanced Materials

The main objective is to develop advanced materials and technologies capable of improving device efficiency, reducing their carbon footprint, and offering environmental and economic benefits for energy applications. The aim is to develop green synthesis protocols to increase sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of processes. Additionally, advanced techniques for chemical, structural, morphological, and functional characterization will be implemented to enhance material performance and foster innovation.
