About Us

We are an interdisciplinary group with diverse research interests

The N&N Group’s research is mainly focused in the rational synthesis of nanoparticles and nanocomposites and the study of their structural-functional properties incluing those related to the nano/bio interfaces. The group vision is to see our materials impacting in Nanomedicine, Information Technologies or Energy and Environment. Surf our website if you want to know more about us and our research!

Autumn 2024 group activity: see the photos!

On November 22, the members of the Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group gathered in a traditional Catalan masia for the autumn 2024 Group Activity.

New paper in efficient hydrogen-producing catalysts

New paper in efficient hydrogen-producing catalysts

N&N group members Xuesong Zhang, Pablo Guardia and Anna Roig published a new paper in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A. It introduces a new method to create efficient hydrogen-producing catalysts using gold-platinum (AuPt) nanostructures. This research has been conducted alongside the former N&N member Miquel Torras, as well as the authors from the Catalan Institute for Energy Research (IREC) Jesús Chacón Borrero, Ren He and Andreu Cabot (the latter, also from ICREA).
