Materials and Technologies for the Energy Transition

Design, synthesis, and characterization of sustainable catalysts for low-temperature CO₂ methanation (200–400 °C). Study of the relationships between physicochemical properties, active-site structure, and catalytic performance, with particular emphasis on the use of natural or biomimetic supports and metal–support interactions. Evaluation of catalyst activity, selectivity, and durability, as well as deactivation phenomena and regeneration strategies.
