The MC-nano project aims to:
- identify a protocol for the synthesis, assisted from metal surfaces, of carbon-based nanostructures containing transition metal atoms, starting from halogenated organometallic precursors;
- test the stability and reactivity of these nanostructures to adsorption of simple sensor / catalytic molecules in increasingly realistic conditions (controlled atmosphere, air, solution).
The aim of the project is the identification and characterization of low cost and low environmental impact nanomaterials with chemical properties optimized for applications in the field of sensors and nanocatalysis.
Research units
