J.R. Galán-Mascarós

Prof. J.R. Galán-Mascarós leads the research group at ICIQ, focusing on sustainable materials and electrocatalysis for energy and chemical transformations. His work addresses decarbonization challenges across microscopic reactivity and engineering solutions for device implementation.

Research interests include developing advanced materials for energy storage (e.g., artificial leaf systems), molecular memory devices, and chiral-functionalized catalysts. His team’s multidisciplinary approach combines materials science, electrochemistry, and chemical engineering.

Key contributions include high-efficiency artificial leaf devices and molecular memory systems. Current projects involve CO₂ conversion technologies and magnetic-field-enhanced catalysis.

Funding includes major grants like INHYTECH (metal nitrides applications) and BREATH-CO₂ (carbon mitigation strategies). The group actively collaborates with institutions like the University of Rovira i Virgili and industry partners.

Prof. Galán-Mascarós oversees a diverse team of PhD students and visiting researchers, emphasizing innovation and interdisciplinary training.
