Two-Dimensional Materials Chemistry Lab is a cross-disciplinary research group led by Dr. Gonzalo Abellán and focused on the study of two-dimensional (2D) materials combining both inorganic and organic chemistry with materials science. We are part of the Research Team on Molecular Materials at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol, University of Valencia, Spain). Furthermore, some members of our group are located at the Joint Institute of Advanced Materials and Processes (ZMP), which belongs to the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Germany).
Our group works in three main research lines: 2D pnictogens (group of P, As, Sb and Bi), layered hydroxides, and carbon nanoforms and related hybrid materials. Along with the synthesis and exhaustive characterization of our materials, we aim to explore their novel applications in the fields of energy storage and conversion, catalysis, electronics or magnetism, among others.
We have close links with other recognized scientific groups, in both national and international institutions, e.g. University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany), Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), ITQ-CSIC (Spain), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain), IMDEA Nanociencia (Spain), University of Vienna (Austria), Budapest University of Technology and Economics (Hungary), University of Strasbourg (France), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain), The University of Texas at El Paso (USA), and ETH Zurich (Switzerland).
