We are a consolidated interdisciplinary group, recognized by the DGA (T02-20R). Our interests are focused in the investigation and development of structural and functional ceramics for energy applications and their devices. We develop projects of basic research and also pursue transfer to industry.

About Us
Processing and Characterization of Structural and Functional Ceramics
~ IN PARTICULAR, WE DEVELOP ~
A) Functional ceramics for electrochemical applications and their devices: ionic and mixed conductors for electrochemical devices (SOFC and SOEC cells, lead-acid batteries, Li ion conductors, H2 and O2 membranes, etc.), cell assembly.
B) Functional materials based on directionally solidified eutectics: with applications as CO2 membranes; selective thermal emitters; metamaterials; photo-catalysis, etc.
C) Ceramics with mechanical performance: Laser assisted solidification of eutectic oxide and non-oxide ceramics, with exceptional mechanical resistance and to high temperature corrosion, good behavior against wear and thermal shock.
D) Laser assisted processing of ceramics and other materials: Solidification from the melt, marking and structuring by melting, ablation etc.
