General description

Copperbeads are versatile catalysts in organic synthesis and material science because of their recyclability, sustainability, and superior catalytic performance. They are employed as heterogeneous catalysts in a range of organic reactions, including Click chemistry and cross-coupling reactions.

Application

  • Spray-dried ternary bioactive glass microspheres: This study examines the structural effects of copper doping in bioactive glass microspheres, highlighting their potential in biomedical applications for controlled drug delivery (Vecchio et al., 2024).
  • Design, Synthesis, and Characterization of Stable Copper Nanofluid: Reports on the synthesis of copper nanofluids for enhanced thermal conductivity, relevant in industrial production and various thermal applications (Bhat et al., 2024).

Lanthanide Ions as Photon Managers for Solar Cells

Spectral conversion for solar cells is an emerging concept in the field of photovoltaics, and it has the potential to increase significantly the efficiency of solar cells. Lanthanide ions are ideal candidates for spectral conversion, due to their high luminescence efficiencies and rich energy level structure that allows for great flexibility in the upconversion and downconversion of photons in a wide spectral region (NIR-VIS-UV).

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
