MImicking NItrogenase-inspired catalysis ON Sulfur-terminated mxenes (MINIONS)

Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
Ammonia (NH3) is a crucial chemical feedstock, widely used in fertilizers and industrial applications, and has recently gained attention as a potential hydrogen carrier [https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7655/ac0d9f]. However, its large-scale production remains heavily reliant on the Haber-Bosch process (HBP) using Fe-supported catalysts, an energy-i...

Molecular design of electrically conductive COFs as efficient electrodes for lithium batteries (ELECTROCOFS)

European ComissionCoordinator
Used to power electric vehicles and store renewable energy, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) can help reduce carbon emissions. However, LIBs are based on transition metal oxide cathodes. This means they have limited energy density, and it also raises environmental concerns. The EU-funded ELECTROCOFS project will explore organic materials as alternative e...

New system-driven bioremediation of polluted habitats and environment (NYMPHE)

European ComissionPartner
Biological organisms, including the smallest, can play a big role in restoring polluted environments. They remove or neutralise an environmental pollutant from soil or water in a process called bioremediation. The EU-funded Nymphe project will take this process to a new level. Specifically, it will develop bioremediation/revitalisation strategie...

Nova geração de revestimentos poliméricos: mais biodegradáveis, sustentáveis e revalorizáveis (NEXTGENCOAT)

Industry NationalPartner
Os revestimentos poliméricos são extensivamente usados, contudo a reduzida/nula (bio)degradabilidade e reciclabilidade constitu um problema ambiental. O projeto NEXTGENCOAT visa desenvolver uma nova geração de tintas eficientes e de elevado desempenho ambiental, com propriedades (bio)degradáveis após uso, por forma a reduzir a pegada ambiental d...

OLINWASTE - SMART SUSTAINABLE BIOREFINING OF OLIVE MILL WASTE INTO BIOCOMPOUNDS FOR PLANT AND SOIL HEALTH, BIOPLASTICS, AND BIOENERGY (OLinWASTE)

European ComissionPartner
The biorefinery sector transforms biomass (agricultural or food industry waste) into valuable products. Even though it’s important for the circular economy, it faces major environmental and emissions challenges. The EU-funded OLinWASTE project will establish a zero-emission system for olive mill waste. It will convert waste into products like bi...

ORTHOpaedic treatment with ALLOgenic combined ATMP in long bone fracture delayed UNION and non-union (ORTHO-ALLO-UNION)

European ComissionPartner
Bone fracture with delay or failure to heal is a condition with huge health impact. Although only a small proportion of long bone fractures evolve to non-union (5%), it is a first magnitude problem due to the number of new annual fractures and increasing incidence of complex fractures with high risk of non-consolidation, need for repeated proced...

Otimização integrada de processos industriais para Valorização de resíduos (CAMP&VALOR)

Industry NationalPartner
O projeto CAMP&Valor visa valorizar as águas residuais e lamas e melhorar o uso de recursos hídricos para desenvolver novas formulações de rações, ao recuperar e valorizar compostos/produtos eluídos nas águas residuais do processo de descasque de batata e cenoura. Também pretende produzir um novo biochar para aplicar nos solos agrícolas, melhora...

Piezoelectricity in 2D-materials: materials, modeling, and applications (Piezo2D)

European ComissionCoordinator
Piezoelectricity in two-dimensional (2D) materials is increasingly important because of its potential in realizing thin yet efficient and flexible piezoelectric devices. In contrast to traditional three-dimensional (3D) piezo- and ferroelectrics that are prone to size effects, piezoelectricity in 2D materials may be controlled by flexoelectricit...

PRInted Symbiotic Materials as a dynamic platform for Living Tissues production (PRISM-LT)

European ComissionPartner
The EU-funded PRISM-LT project will use a hybrid living materials concept to create a flexible platform for living tissue manufacturing. The innovative bio-ink will contain stem cells integrated into a supporting matrix with engineered helper bacteria or yeast cells. The bioprinting process will produce a 3D patterned structure where stem cells ...

Processamento aditivo por laser de ligas de Titânio para fabrico de dispositivos médicos personalizados (Laser4Implant)
