OREOBATT Project – “Organic Electroactive Materials as Electrodes for Next-Generation Batteries” is a FCT – Exploratory Project. A team of researchers from C2TN, led by Sandra Rabaça, in collaboration with CeFEMa, where the project is coordinated by Diogo Santos, is developing a new generation of organic electroactive materials (OEMs) for high-performance, low-cost batteries. The project […]
ARSENIX Project – “Portuguese rice fields as a laboratory modelling for water decontamination by iron chelatin type nanoparticles” is a FCT – Exploratory Project. It is focused on the study of the release of toxic metals, particularly Arsenium, into water systems during the rice growth, which is of great importance. Different methods based on the
WATER4MED project (Water management strategies and Adaptation acTions undER a global change context FOR the MEDiterranean region” (PRIMA II section) aims to develop new approaches to adapt water governance models to the current context of global changes (climate change and growing demand) in order to define efficient water management strategies through numerical calculations, advanced hydrochemical
The M-ERA.NET project THERMOSS has as core concept to develop and deliver new energy harvesting thermoelectric materials and modules based on n-Mg2X(X:Si,Sn) and p-Cu12-x(Co,Ni,Zn)xSb4S13-zSez systems. Focus will be put on the materials/modules design/synthesis, optimization, properties and characterization as well as the investigation of possible applications. Specific research objectives are (a) optimized synthesis of cost-effective highly
The ISOLTOPSUP is a FCT project that has as the main scientific goal the identification, preparation and study of high-quality topological insulators. Emphasis in made on novel compounds that have recently been theoretically suggested as very promising, like 5f (uranium) compounds that are semiconductors, non-magnetic and feature a large spin-orbit coupling favoring band inversion at
The scope of the FCT project Exhaust2Energy is to propose a novel automotive exhaust heat thermoelectric generator concept based on low profile modules and low thermal resistance heat source and heat sink heat exchangers based on temperature controlled phase change heat transfer. The generator was designed for application into a conventional or hybrid vehicle in
To carry out the transition to a decarbonised energy supply implies continuous innovation in materials and in low-carbon energy technologies. LocalEnergy is a FCT project that is in line with this strategy, by addressing the development and exploitation of environmental-friendly and scalable low-cost technologies related to energy conversion. The goal and research focus of LocalEnergy
The SPINCROSSOVER project has two distinct objectives: The first one is to enhance the knowledge regarding the main structural features that control the spin crossover (SCO) transition and the second is to use that knowledge to create guidelines for the intelligent design of SCO materials, with special attention to materials able to retain metastable high-spin
NEUTRABILITY is a FCT project aiming at of designing new soluble Single Component Molecular Metals (SCMM) and test them as components of the active layer of optimize organic electronic devices. Coordinator at IST: Dulce Belo – dbelo@ctn.tecnico.ulisboa.pt
This project aims at exploring the physical properties of a novel type of quasi-two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems with a bilayer structure, intermediate between the single layer and 3D solids. These bilayer systems are based on an entirely new type of structures among molecular materials recently developed by our group, exhibiting unprecedented properties associated with a
