    Research interests

    I have always applied spectroscopic methods in order to achieve a detailed understanding of the physicochemical nature of a large variety of nanostructured high surface area materials that find applications as heterogeneous catalysts. The peculiarity of my work is to develop a versatile experimental platform based on the combined use of laboratory spectroscopies and advanced techniques available at the synchrotron beam lines in controlled atmosphere. Broad aim of the work is to describe the structure and the number of the active sites; the reaction mechanisms; the origin of catalysts deactivation. Most of these activities are performed thanks to the collaboration with industrial partners. Relevant examples are: TS-1 (Titanium silicalite) a unique catalyst for selective partial oxidation with H2O2; 2) Fe-Zeolites, a relevant catalyst in partial oxidation with N2O; 3) H-Zeolites used for Methanol to hydrocarbon/olefin processes; 3) Cu-exchanged zeolites for ammonia selective catalytic reduction. More recently I’m actively contributing to the development of the emerging field of Porous Metallorganic Frameworks, both contributing to the understanding of known materials and developing new ones for specific applications (e.g. in collaboration with Oslo University: discovery of UiO-66 metallorganic framework topology that is a very thermal and chemical stable metallorganic framework now commercialized; in collaboration with Berkeley university: disclosure of the reaction mechanism of CO2 adsorption on post-synthetic modified metallorganic framework). The commune denominator of my interests is the broad concept of sustainability, strongly interconnected with the energy efficiency and of the integration of resources (possibly renewable) in order to allow a sustainable grow of our society.
