Prof. Clara Viñas gave a lecture at the Women of Distinction in Materials Science Workshop
The workshop programme includes talks about materials science in many different fields: biomedicine, for fuel cell applications, catalysis, complex materials or materails for aerospace. You can find the list of invited speakers here, including ICMAB researcher Clara Viñas.
Photoluminescence of Anthracene–styrene- m-carborane derivatives
We report how m-carborane platform enhances the quantum efficiency of the anthracene in solution, without losing the emission properties in the aggregate state. Check out all details at Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers.
Check out the Results in Brief for our EU project on CORDIS
Tuning both the photoluminescence and conductive properties of new COP materials Prof. Viñas’s demonstrated a simple and efficient way to achieve tuning by focusing on the accompanying cations of the doping anions, which determine the stoichiometries of the COPs that, … Continue reading
A new material for biobutanol separation
We have discovered a water stable metal-organic framework (MOF) that allows for the separation of butanol from acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) mixtures that are extracted from the fermentation process of biomass feedstock, as part of the standard industrial process to produce biofuels. Check out … Continue reading
