Alceo Macchioni

Prof. Alceo Macchioni leads the Catalysis for Energy research group at the Department of Excellence, University of Perugia. His work focuses on the design and application of inorganic and inorgano-organic solids for catalysis, renewable energy, and advanced polymer nanocomposites.

• Research spans layered/hybrid materials (e.g., hydrotalcites, zirconium phosphates) for heterogeneous catalysis, fuel cells, and biodegradable polymers.
• Laboratory equipped with X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and mechanical testing tools.

Spin-off company Prolabin&Tefarm (since 2008) commercializes nanomaterials developed by the group for applications in polymers, catalysis, and healthcare.
