BCMaterials researcher Dr. Daniel Salazar is one of the guest editors of a special issue in Sustainable Materials and Technologies (SM&T) journal. The special issue is called “Advanced sustainable materials for energy applications (Advanced sustainable mat)”. It is devoted to academic and industrial partners working on the substitution and recycling of critical raw materials (CRMs) as well as on the implementation of green synthesis and processes in electronic, magnetic and energy harvesting devices.

BCMaterials presents its Annual Activities Report for the year 2022. The document contains the data referring to the results of the research work of the center, both in terms of publications and projects. Likewise, it includes summaries of some of the most representative articles with the greatest impact, both by areas and by lines of research.

BCMaterials has participated as co-editor of a new book: 'Sustainable Energy Storage in the Scope of Circular Economy: Advanced Materials and Device Design'. Our scientific director, Senentxu Lanceros-Méndez, is one of the three editors of the volume, together with Carlos Miguel Costa and Renato Gonçalves, researchers from the University of Minho.

A contribution from BCMaterials and colleagues “Sustainable Collagen Blends with Different Ionic Liquids for Resistive Touch Sensing Applications”, has been selected as a cover of the ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering magazine. 2023, 11, 5896-5998. Congratulations to the authors.

BCMaterials, through its researcher Itziar Oyarzabal, Ikerbasque Research Fellow, collaborated in the publication of an interesting article in the journal Nature Communications, related to the understanding of the control of the physical properties of MOFs, so that these metal-organic compounds serve as conductors, semiconductors or insulators. Specifically, the article focuses on the compound MCl2(pyrazine)2.
