about us

The group 'Materials for energy photonics and catalysis' (ENPHOCAMAT) focuses its activity on the search of advanced materials through the production, treatment, structural and compositional characterization, physical-chemical functionality, photonic characterization of materials in general and of nanometric structures. We are adscribed to the Institute of Science and Nanotechnology of Universitat de Barcelona (IN2UB). All these activities are aimed at catalysis, photonics and energy applications, as well as the formation and diffusion of knowledge. The group has the necessary infrastructure for the production of materials through technologies in the vapor phase (CVD and PVD) and based on plasmas, mechanical, chemical, electrochemical and laser treatment for the production of nanostructures and for their functionalization. In addition, the group is made up of a team of researchers who are experts in the structural and compositional characterization, optics and photonics, and in surface and analysis techniques, to carry out the study of the properties of materials and nanomaterials in the face of its applications.
