Design of efficient catalytic nanomaterials as a pillar of a sustainable economy

Deliverables

Throughout the project, various data outputs of interest to a broad scientific audience, IR spectra and XPS data for unreported metastable metal oxides will be regularly deposited on public databases such as ICDD, PubMed or NIST. In addition, the databases of results, the mathematical algorithms and experimental protocols developed will be deposited in open access and peer-reviewed databases such as Data in Brief and MethodsX.In case of relevant results, the realization of patents will be considered, and later on, the industrial viability will be considered by signing transfer contracts with interested companies. In that case, after agreement with the companies involved, the results will be published in open literature. The preparation of patents will be supervised by Dr. Patricia Concepcion who has strong experience in the generation of patents and also the ITQ/CSIC/UPV have a patent management area. All scientific production will be included in the institutional repository (Riunet-UPV) as stipulated in the regulation of ITQ (UPV-CSIC).ADVCATALNANOMAT will practice early open sharing of research results through the ChemRxiv preprint repository. ADVCATALNANOMAT is also committed to submitting its early-stage non-patentable research to open review, believing that this can contribute to improving the quality of the final publication. In this sense, open peer review platforms such as The Winnower or Copernicus Publications will be used. All scientific production will be included in the institutional repository of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Riunet-UPV). Finally, the most relevant results will be published in open access high-impact journals.

Communication, Dissemination & Exploitation Plan

"The results will be published in peer-reviewed high-impact scientific journals, choosing the Gold Open Access route, to maximize dissemination among the scientific community. Examples of these journals would be J. Catal. (IF: 7.3), App. Catal. B: Environment. (IF: 22.1), J. Am. Chem. Soc. (IF:16.4), Mat. Today (IF: 24.2) or ACS Catal. (IF: 13.1). In addition, the results will be disseminated at national and international conferences, such as the European Congress on Catalysis, the North American Catalysis Society Meeting, the Annual Meeting of the Spanish Catalysis Society and the International Conference on Catalysis. Communication and dissemination activities includes the organization of at least two workshops or seminars hold at ITQ, with the objective of sharing useful tools for kinetic studies such as SSITKA, SSITKA-DRIFTS, KIE and MES, and participation in the Course of “Laboratory techniques” (subject: Introduction to Infrared spectroscopy) offered each year at ITQ for students and technical staff. Two scientific dissemination talks will be programmed; first at “Mednight” (Researchers' Mediterranean Night) coordinated by the CSIC and other national and international organizations, and second in the form of a workshop in high-schools, with the goal of raising awareness among the citizenship on ""The role of CO2 in global warming and the Carbon Neutral Cycle in a sustainable economy"". Finally, for a wide scientific dissemination, the main results of ADVCATALNANOMAT will be public during and after the end of the project on the ITQ Twitter account (@ITQ_UPVCSIC) and the research group's webpage (https://capcatval.uma.es/)."
