An international collaboration led by Carles Bo, ICIQ group leader, and Haralampos Miras, senior scientist at the University of Glasgow (Scotland), has resulted in a new approach to improve the catalysts needed to carry out the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER). The reaction, in which water is transformed into hydrogen and oxygen, is a promising alternative […]

Prof. Paolo Melchiorre, ICIQ group leader, has joined the journal Chemical Science as an associate editor. Melchiorre’s research focuses on utilising organocatalytic and photochemical processes to develop environmentally respectful reaction processes, aiming to redesign synthetic processes that could find widespread use in organic synthesis. Chemical Science is the flagship journal of the Royal Society of […]

Collaborative research between the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) Lloret-Fillol group and the Costas group from the Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona, has shed light on a long controversy over the molecular nature of the catalysts involved in water oxidation. Water oxidation is the conversion of water […]
