At the Laboratory of Spectroscopy of Functional Materials (LEMAF) in IFSC/USP, we carry out interdisciplinary research in the field optical and luminescent materials for photonic and biophotonic applications. Among the targeted materials are: 1) Glasses and glass ceramics doped with trivalent rare earth ions TR3+ for scintillators, solar concentrators and sensors; 2) Host-guest hybrids ba…
Through fundamental research on structure-property relations, using complementary simulation, spectroscopic and functional characterization methods, we will map the "genome" and develop new active glasses and glass-ceramics with promising applications. For that, the core group of the Center will comprise 13 professors at USP and UFSCar (both located in São Carlos) who are experts in engin…
Nowadays, the shortening in accessibility of safe drinking water is a matter of worldwide concern due to various contaminants released into water bodies from industrial, human and animal sources, including microbial pathogens, which can be of greatest health concern. The use of chemical reagents like chlorine and ozone for disinfection of drinking water is widespread but results in disinf…
This proposal seeks to enhance electron injection, electron transport and optical absorption of nanostructured TiO2-based solar cells in order to improve their power conversion efficiency. Therefore, we propose TiO2-graphene nano-hybrid, featuring high electron transport, for the manufacture of efficient solar cells. TiO2-graphene nano-hybrids with various TiO2: graphene weight ratios are…
There is an increased exertion by the scientific community to minimize the material cost for solar cell, to enhance the solar cell efficiency and to produce inventive and proficient new products for photovoltaic technology applications. The conversion efficiency limit for the solar cell is estimated to be around 29% which could be enhanced up to 37 % as shown by detailed balance calculati…

Among the several interdisciplinary research areas emerging with nanotechnology special attention has been given to bionanophotonics, a combination of nanophotonics (the study of optical interactions in the nanoscale) with biomedical sciences and biotechnology. The many possibilities of applications in this field are based, for instance, on the use of light emitting nanoparticles in biose…
Photovoltaic (PV) technologies for solar energy conversion represent promising routes to green and renewable energy generation. Despite the fact that relevant PV technologies have being available for more than half a century, the production of solar energy remains costly, largely owing to low power conversion efficiencies of solar cells. The main difficulty in improving the efficiency of …

For a long time, cancer and bacterial infectious have been among the major causes of deaths worldwide. Despite enormous developments in the fields of diagnosis and treatments, there is still an urgent need for generic, accurate and point-of-care platforms capable of enabling the rapid and precocious diagnostics of such diseases in order toallow faster and more adequate treatment. In this …
O objetivo deste trabalho é fazer novas contribuições no desenvolvimento e implementação experimental de poling térmico de vidros para geração de respostas ópticas não-lineares visando aplicações no campo da microfotônica. O poling térmico é uma técnica que envolve a aplicação de um campo elétrico forte a um substrato de vidro aquecido abaixo de sua temperatura de transição vítrea (Tg). …
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted great interest for rapidly growing light-to-electricity conversion efficiencies, already exceeding 22%, although they still lack high stability, especially in air and humidity. In this project, novel solution-processed oxide semiconductor materials will be prepared and characterized towards applications as hole- and/or electron-transport layers…
The present proposal is based on two research fronts: i) the preparation and characterization of new materials based on copper (I) halide complexes for luminescent applications in lighting and gas sensing; ii) the design, synthesis and characterization of materials based on quantum dots and upconversion nanoparticles dispersed in solid host matrices. The Cu(I) complexes synthesized in our…
