Liane M. Rossi received her PhD in inorganic chemistry from the Federal University of Santa Catarina (Brazil) in 2001. After a two year postdoctoral stay at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) and a one year postdoctoral stay at University of New Orleans (USA), in 2004, she joined the Institute of Chemistry at University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), where she is now a Full Professor of Chemistry. Member of the Brazilian Academy of Science since 2022. Her research interests include studies in the field of catalysis, especially in the investigation of the unique properties of metallic nanoparticles for the design of heterogeneous catalysts with high control over composition, size, morphology and surface chemical properties. She has focused on the study of hydrogenation and oxidation reactions, with an emphasis on the conversion of carbon dioxide and biomass derivatives. She coordinates the Cabon Capture and Utilization - CCU Program at the Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation - RCGI, sponsored by FAPESP and SHELL. She is currently serving as Editorial Board Member for Chemistry Select, Advisory Board Member for ACS Catalysis, International Advisory Board Member for Angewandte Chemie and Associate Editor for ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering. She is a member of SBQ, CBCat, ACS e RSC. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), 80% of the global energy demand is derived from fossil fuels which are non-renewable energy sources and their use implicate in environmental consequences contribuiting to pollution and climate change effect. To address these problems, much effort has been made towards a clean energy development and some reactions are at the core of the e…

Noble metals have long been central to catalysis, especially due to their higher reactivity compared to catalysts based on Earth-abundant transition metals. The efficacy of Earth-abundant metal catalysts was already shown at the beginning of the 20th century with the Fe-catalyzed Haber-Bosch process of ammonia synthesis and later in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. Nanoscience revolutionized…
Metal nanoparticles have received great attention in catalysis due to new reactivity, often not seen in the corresponding bulk materials, and high selectivity in catalytic reactions. In general, gold catalysts have been most studied for its excellent selectivity in oxidation reactions, but this metal at nanoscale has unique properties that can be exploited in a number of other reactions. …

Currently, scientific problems are becoming increasingly complex, requiring an interdisciplinary research approach. Because of this, the creation of a team with defined, competent and complementary expertise, as proposed in this thematic project, is of fundamental importance for the transition from science of incremental progress to a science that involves paradigm shifts and real impact …
Currently, the climate change caused by the greenhouse effect is one of the biggest problems mobilizing the society as whole. One of the main responsible for this phenomenon is carbon dioxide (CO2), a subproduct of several chemical reactions that occur naturally and a product from fossil products burning.Thus aiming to contain the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, such as C…
Brazil is the world's second-largest ethanol producer, but the CO2 emitted during fermentation and the burning of sugarcane bagasse ends up in the atmosphere. The conversion of CO2 from sugarcane ethanol refineries into chemicals, for example, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, is an opportunity to enhance and diversify Brazil's chemical industry. This process of direct conversion of CO2 to …

This research targets the adaptation and development of technologies for the fabrication of precision prototypes with controllable properties tailored for conducting small-scale experimentation on the field of sustainable energy production. As such, it explores knowledge on both mainstream and state-of-the-art microfabrication techniques, such as milling, photolithography, Fused Filament …
The use of molecular modifiers or auxiliary ligands is a well known strategy to increase the selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis. Recently, an study of the effect of nitrogen-containing ligands on the activity of gold nanoparticles (NPs), developed in our group, showed a high activity and selectivity of this catalytic system in hydrogenation of alkynes via heterolytic H2 activation by …
Global warming is one of the most serious problems humanity is facing, changing fauna and flora over the years and putting at risk the existence of life as we know it. There is an urgent need to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, because the emission of these types of gases may one day be no longer optional. Aligning environmental concerns with the need for the formation of the valu…

The concern regarding the exhaustion of oil reservoirs and climate changes has directed the research towards the development of green energy, fuels and chemicals from renewable biomass resources in replacement to the petroleum-derived products. HMF is considered a top-12 biobased chemical, a promising platform compound. Its derivatives are of great importance especially the oxidation prod…
Metal nanoparticles as catalysts opened doors for the development of new green synthetic routes of a large amount of chemical compounds with industrial potential. Nanocatalysis for the transformation of renewable raw materials into commercial interesting products has been explored by many research groups and great results were obtained related to selectivity and activity of the catalysts.…
