Processing and Characterization of Estructural and functional Ceramics (ProCaCef)
We are focused in the investigation and development of Structural and Functional Ceramics for Energy Applications and their Devices.
In particular:
A) Ceramics with mechanical performance: Laser assisted solidification of eutectic ceramics, also non-oxide ceramics, with exceptional mechanical resistance and resistant to high temperature corrosion, good behaviour against wear and thermal shock.
B) Functional ceramics for electrochemical applications and their devices: Ionic conductors for electrochemical devices (SOFC and SOEC cells, Li ion conductors, H2 and O2 membranes, etc.), and cell assembly.
C) Functional materials based on directionally solidified eutectics: with applications as CO2 membranes; Selective Thermal Emitters; Metamaterials; Photocatalysers, etc.
D) Laser assisted processing of ceramics and other materials: Melting, ablation, marking.
