Main research lines:

  • Development of new methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles: Materials of biological origin, mainly extracted from plants and seaweeds, are used as reducing agents of a metal precursor species, by the application of high-power ultrasounds.
  • Use of Sonogel-Carbon materials as the base for the fabrication of (bio)sensor devices. Sonogel-Carbon is a special type of graphite-like material developed by our group and built by sol-gel technology, which are excellent platforms for the immobilization of (nano)materials and the fabrication of sensors for specific purposes.
  • Development of novel electrode (nano)materials: Several kinds of modified materials, even structured at the nanoscale, based on Sonogel-Carbon, nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes and conductive polymers can be obtained.
  • Study of the (nano)materials employed for the fabrication of electrochemical (bio)sensors, along with the characterization of the obtained devices: By electrochemical (CV, DPV, EIS, SECM) and structural (SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, AFM, UV-vis, etc.) characterization techniques.
  • Application of our developed (nano)materials for the fabrication of (bio)sensors: Immobilization of enzymes on different (nano)materials for agrifood, biomedical or environmental applications. In addition, (bio)sensors of the type of “inhibition of response” are also developed and applied.
