Roger Bofill Arasa

Roger Bofill Arasa is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), affiliated with the Selective Redox Catalysis (SelOxCat) research group. He holds a PhD (2001) and Licenciatura (1996) from UAB. His research focuses on catalytic materials for energy applications, including hydrogen production, CO₂ conversion, and water oxidation catalysts. He has led/co-investigated 14+ research projects since 1998, with recent grants including EU-funded initiatives like SUFACE-FUNCTIONALIZED NANOCATALYSTS (2024–2028) and SelSens (2022–2024). His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to affordable clean energy and climate action.

Education: PhD in Chemistry (2001) and Licenciatura (1996), both from UAB. Supervised 18+ theses including key works on metallothionein coordination and nanoparticle catalysis. Active in collaborative projects involving international institutions, focusing on green hydrogen, CO₂ valorization, and electrochemical sensing platforms.

Research highlights include Ru-based nanocatalysts on carbon nanotubes, functionalized graphene oxide for hydrogen evolution, and cobalt oxide nanoparticles for oxygen evolution under visible light. His 57+ publications (h-index 21, 1540 citations) emphasize sustainable catalytic systems. Collaborations span Europe and Asia, with datasets deposited in Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre.
