Chemistry Synthesis Laboratory

Chemistry Synthesis lab join all the facilities of a chemistry laboratory to design, synthesis and modification of different crystalline materials, polymers and composites. Four working modules and three extraction hoods with N2 and Compressed air lines form the core of the installation. In addition, small equipment such as, ultrasound-bath, centrifuge, rotary evaporator, digital thermometers, stirrers, high precision balance, vacuum heater plate, hydrothermal reactor, microwave… allows developing a wide scope of chemical processes.

Bio
Roberto Fernández de Luis got his PhD (Material science, 2009) from the University of the Basque Country. His research is focused on crystal structure determination and thermal stability of the crystal frameworks after the loss and uptake of guest and coordinated species. For these studies, he has specialized on single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction at non-ambient temperature. He is currently working in collaboration with the Crystallography group in UPV/EHU on the room temperature and hydrothermal synthesis of nano-structured hydrogels of silver vanadium oxides for sensing and battery applications.

Interests and objetives
Design of porous materials as sensor for alcohols detectors.
Development of electrode materials for battery applications.
