On November 22, the members of the Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group gathered in a traditional Catalan masia for the autumn 2024 Group Activity.
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).
NN Group researchers Dr. Anna Roig, Dr. Deyaa Abol-Fotouh and Dr. Pablo Guardia published two new papers during the last month. Those publications have been achieved in close collaboration with different international institutions, extending the impact of the research done at the ICMAB-CSIC‘s Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites Group.
N&N Group members Anna Solé and Anna Roig published a new article in Polymeric Nanocarriers. The paper is entitled Efficient Nebulization and Pulmonary Biodistribution of Polymeric Nanocarriers in an Acute Lung Injury Preclinical Model.
