The group is moving to Aalto University (Finland) in January 2025! Daniel has accepted a position as Assistant Professor in Applied Electrochemistry at Aalto University, Department of Chemistry and Materials Science! This is a great opportunity for joining an excellent research and educational environment, which will allow us to grow further and continue working towards […]
Fantastic news! Our group has secured funding from NordForsk for a new 4-year collaborative project, AGRI-WASTE2H2, that aims to develop electrocatalysts and electrochemical processes for the valorization of chemicals obtained from agricultural residues while simultaneously producing green hydrogen. The NordForsk Green Transition call was very competitive, with only 10 proposals obtaining funding from a total
After a long trip from Coventry (UK) to Jyväskylä (Finland), Daniel starts on his new position as Academy of Finland Research Fellow at the University of Jyväskylä. Exciting times ahead!
Wonderful news! Daniel has been awarded an Academy of Finland Research Fellowship to work on CELL2H2: Green Hydrogen and High-Value Chemicals by Electrocatalytic Valorisation of Cellulose. This involves a research grant with funding of €727 999 from the Research Council of Finland, which will allow Daniel to establish his independent research group at the University

I have been analyzing some High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) images of metallic nanoparticles recently, and one of the most useful properties to obtain is the d-spacing values from the crystalline structure of individual nanoparticles (or for the whole sample). As you may know, Gatan’s Digital Micrograph is the most popular software package for analyzing

Last weeks I have been trying to learn how to use first-principles calculations to study electrochemical reactions. I am specifically using software for Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations with the goal to apply it to interesting electrocatalytic reactions such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) or carbon dioxide reductio reaction (CO2RR)

Electrochemistry is a quite old science since its birthday is considered to be in the 18th century but I think that, scientifically-speaking, it is in the best moment of its life. As an electrochemistry I always have on my mind the social relevance of my beloved scientific field but I also understand that this may

Hello world! I am a blog fan. Twitter threads are nice to follow current events, spreading information immediately but they also get lost in a deep sea very quickly. Blogs stay forever and the information can be easily accessed by a simple search in your favorite engine. I have previously managed some blogs about science
