A study on catalysts for low-carbon hydrogen production, conducted within the context of CINE, received an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry at one of the largest international events in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry, WATOC, held in Oslo, Norway, from June 22 to 27 of this year. The work was one of 10 award-winning posters among approximately 600 presented at the conference. The research was conducted by three members…
Professor Lucia Helena Mascaro (UFSCar), a researcher at CINE, has just been elected vice-president of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) for the period 2026-2028. Established 76 years ago, this scientific society currently has more than 3,000 members from approximately 70 countries across all continents. The CINE researcher’s main role within the ISE Executive Committee will be to lead the regional sections, coordinating and integrating them to strengthen ISE’s representation…
Researchers from Unicamp and CNPEM have innovatively addressed the problem of instability in perovskite solar cells, presenting a new strategy to optimize these devices. Metal halide perovskite films promise to be in the center of the next generation of solar cells with their excellent performance in converting sunlight into electricity. However, to fully exploit their potential, the stability of these materials in the face of heat and humidity still needs…
Approximately fifty research works conducted within CINE’s Computational Materials Design (CMD) division were presented on July 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th in an online event, held in English. “This initiative is part of our strong commitment to developing highly qualified researchers at all levels, strengthening not only our science but also our ability to communicate it clearly and globally,” says Professor Juarez L. F. Da Silva (IQSC-USP), CMD Principal Investigator….
