  Surface Science Lab

The Surface Science and Catalysis Laboratory is equipped with four experimental chambers in ultra-high-vacuum, reactors, instrumental equipments, synthesis laboratories where the following research lines are pursued:

– Structure and activity of model catalysts studied by Surface Science tools;

– Atomic Scale design of electrocatalysts for advanced electrodes (fuel cells, solar fuels);

– Growth and functional characterization of chemically modified 2D and 3D graphene and other 2D nanosheets (h-BN, MoS2) systems for energetics and catalysis;

– Nanosystems and nanocomposites for gas- and bio-sensing.
