This proposal has a research componente and an education one. In the first one, the aim is to produce photodetectors, based on organic semiconductors sensitive to light (such as the rr-P3HT), which allow the conversion of light into electrical signals. The devices will allow the conversion of information carried by light into electrical signals. The final goal will be the implant at the p…
At present, there is an increasing interest in rare-earth (RE) doped low-phonon energy nano-materials due to their promising applications in light-emitting devices, biological labelling and imaging, up-conversion (UC) lasers, high density memories, among others. In particular, RE doped oxyfluoride nano-glass-ceramics (nGCs) have attracted attention due to the mechanical and chemical prope…

Biopolymers can be biocompatible and biodegradable, which enables their use in the medical field, including their use as a support for drug delivery systems. Fibroin is a versatile natural protein that can be processed to produce materials such as drug-releasing hydrogels. Bacterial cellulose is another biopolymer that makes it possible to extract nanocellulose. Bacterial cellulose has se…
Meter length, lightweight and flexible optically active poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) optical fibers will be used as cylindrical luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) with unprecedented concentration factors (F>10). PMMA optical fibers coated (bulk fibers) or filled (hollow-core fibers) with lanthanide ions- or dye-containing organic-inorganic hybrid layers will be fabricated and assem…
Despite the indispensable use of agricultural fertilizers to achieve current levels of productivity, chemical nutrients have their effectiveness limited by problems such as ammonia (NH3) volatilization, leaching and/or soil immobilization. One strategy to minimize these problems is to protect the fertilizer with nutrient release barrier materials. Thus, it is desirable that the formed pol…

The improper disposal of female hormones in waste water treatment plant (WWTP) have been in the spotlight of several researches in the last decades, mainly because the improper disposal of such substances occasion disturbances in biological systems and disrupt the human health. However, the elimination of these hormones in WWTP still limited, primarily by conventional treatment methods, t…

Lanthanide (Ln3+)-based upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and persistent luminescent particles (PLPs) have unique optical properties that make them attractive for a wide variety of biomedicine applications. On the one hand, UCNPs stand out for their ability to convert low energy NIR photons into higher energy UV-visible photons that allows them to have great advantages over other types o…
Micro and nanomotors have emerged as new environmental remediation platforms, having as the main advantages: movement control in aqueous solution, high efficiency in the degradation of polluting substances and the possibility of reuse. The present project aims at developing micromotors based on nanostructured biomaterials fabricated according to the targets of interest. The micromotors de…
Lanthanide (Ln3+)-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have attracted a great deal of research interestdue their wide range of biological applications, both in vitro and in vivo. Such UCNPs carry prominent advantagessuch as high spatial emission resolution, deep tissue penetration depth of near-infrared (NIR) excitation light,reduced light scattering and low autofluorescence backgroun…
