When it comes to battery and electric vehicle technologies, CINE researcher Hudson Zanin, 42, is one of the leading lights in Brazil – a reputation earned through solid scientific work and intense knowledge dissemination activities. Hudson graduated in Physics from UFSCar in 2005. Seeking ways to apply his knowledge more directly, he completed a master’s and doctorate in Electrical Engineering at UNICAMP, with research projects in the area of materials….
Professor Ana Flavia Nogueira (Unicamp), researcher and director of CINE, was invited to give a lecture at one of the largest and most prestigious materials science events in the world, the MRS Spring Meeting & Exhibit, which was held in Seattle (USA) from April 7 to 11 this year. Our director participated in one of the event’s three symposia dedicated to perovskite halides, materials that are particularly promising as semiconductors…
A study conducted at UFABC presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which limits the use of these devices in everyday life, has been challenging researchers in the field in search of viable solutions. Currently, perovskite solar cells are a very promising photovoltaic technology. They are as efficient as silicon cells and have lower production costs. In addition, they are light, flexible…
In an article recently published in the prestigious journal Nature Chemistry, researchers from Brazil, Germany and France present an innovative method for discovering and studying mixed-metal clusters. These materials, formed by atoms of metallic elements bound to organic molecules, are used as catalysts in many chemical and electrochemical processes, such as petroleum refining and the conversion of carbon dioxide into raw materials for industry. The study of mixed-metal clusters is…
