Laboratory for Molecular Chemistry and Catalysis for Energy – LCMCE

LCMCE specializes in creating and breaking chemical bonds using organic and organometallic catalysts to convert oxygenated molecules and develop renewable hydrides. Our goal is to promote a circular economy by closing the carbon and nitrogen cycles. We employ a knowledge-driven approach to synthesize new catalysts and study their mechanisms, in order to meet the societal challenges of energy transition and sustainable development.
