Our first research line encompasses the group of 2D pnictogens, a novel class of graphene-like layered elemental materials from the Group 15 of the periodic table. Layered P, As, Sb, and Bi have received considerable attention over the last years since they can outperform and/or complement graphene properties.

Our group works in three main research lines: 
2D pnictogens (group of P, As, Sb and Bi), layered hydroxides, and carbon nanoforms and related hybrid materials. Along with the synthesis and exhaustive characterization of our materials, we aim to explore their novel applications in the fields of energy storage and conversion, catalysis, electronics or magnetism, among others.

Bottom-up nanofabrication of bidimensional pnictogens: a molecular approach
We are pleased to inform that our recent project “Bottom-up nanofabrication of bidimensional pnictogens: a molecular approach” , has been funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation from the Spanish Government. The time span of this project will be three years and will focus on exploring new approaches for the synthesis , characterization and application of novel 2D pnictogens with controlled morphologies.
Liquid phase exfoliation of antimonene: systematic optimization, characterization and electrocatalytic properties
Take a look at our most recent paper published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A in collaboration with the group of Prof. Félix Zamora (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid)! Herein a systematic study based on liquid phase exfoliation has been developed to optimize antimonene production in terms of concentration and dimensional anisotropy. In this context , we describe the most relevant experimental factors affecting the exfoliation.
New PhD student joins the 2D-Chem family
Marta Alcaraz , graduated in Chemistry from the University of Granada and MSc in Organic Chemistry from the University of Valencia , joins the 2D-Chem team as a new PhD student. She will combine her knowledge on organic chemistry with the 2D systems developed in our group in the search for new functionalized materials.
